At 3.0 mm nominal diameter with a 0.50 mm thread pitch, this tap suits precision threading tasks in metal fabrication, mechanical assembly, and repair work. The bottom (plug-style finishing) geometry allows threading closer to the base of a blind bore than a taper or plug tap can achieve. HSS construction provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for threading steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and field repair applications where metric bottom-thread finishing is required. It is appropriate for hand tapping with a tap wrench or for use in low-speed machine tapping setups. Typical applications include threading blind holes in structural components, brackets, housings, and fastener-mount locations where full thread engagement depth is critical to joint strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM3.0x0.50 metric thread form for standard fine-pitch metric fastener compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottom tap geometry threads to the floor of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHSS construction for hardness, toughness, and wear resistance across common metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimum order quantity of 1 — available for single-unit purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use metric bottom tap for M3.0x0.50 thread applications in hand tapping and machine tapping operations on standard metric-threaded assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTapping should be performed by a machinist or qualified tradesperson using a properly aligned tap wrench or tapping head. Always apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Back the tap off periodically to break chips, especially in deep blind holes. Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping to prevent misalignment that can cause tap breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M3.0x0.50\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: EAGLE CUTTING TOOL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MT-030-050-B-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233789215026,"sku":"MT-030-050-B-I","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307623378.png?v=1780108945","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-mt-030-050-b-i-m3-0x0-50-hss-metric-tap","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
