With a 0.50 mm thread pitch and a plug chamfer lead, this tap is suited for through-hole and blind-hole threading operations where a partially chamfered entry is needed. At 0.09 pounds, it is a lightweight, single-piece cutting tool intended for hand tapping or machine tapping applications. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals use this tap when threading M3.0 metric fastener holes in steel, aluminum, cast iron, and similar materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plug tap is used in general metalworking, maintenance and repair, and light manufacturing environments. It is appropriate for residential and commercial trade applications where M3.0 metric threads are required, such as equipment repair, fixture fabrication, and component assembly. The plug chamfer style — typically 3 to 5 threads of lead — makes it the most common tap selected for general-purpose threading where hole access is not restricted. It is imported manufacture, making it a practical choice for standard production and repair work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM3.0 x 0.50 metric thread form for precise, standard-pitch internal threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and wear resistance across common workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer lead (approximately 3 to 5 threads) balances ease of entry with thread-cutting efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for both hand tapping and machine tapping operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.09 pounds — easy to handle in tight workspaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard M3.0 x 0.50 metric plug tap compatible with conventional tap wrenches, T-handle tap holders, and CNC or drill press tapping attachments that accept the appropriate shank size for this tap class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA licensed machinist or experienced technician should select the correct drill size — typically a 2.5 mm tap drill for M3.0 x 0.50 threads — before beginning the tapping operation. Secure the workpiece firmly and use cutting fluid or tapping compound appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Apply consistent, moderate pressure and back the tap off periodically to break chips and prevent binding. Never force a tap against resistance, as HSS taps are brittle and can snap if overloaded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M3.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.50 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug Chamfer\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  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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-P-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233686290738,"sku":"MT-030-050-P-I","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307623377.png?v=1780106627","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-mt-030-050-p-i-m3-0x0-50-hss-plug-tap","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
