Eagle Cutting Tool MT-035-060-P-I M3.5 Hss Metric Plug Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-035-060-P-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) metric plug tap sized M3.5 x 0.60, designed to cut internal threads in metal workpieces. The plug chamfer — typically 3 to 5 threads — allows this tap to start easily in a pre-drilled through-hole or blind hole, making it one of the most common tap styles for general threading work. At 0.09 pounds, it is a lightweight, hand-held or machine-compatible tool suited for production and maintenance threading operations in steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials.

This tap is used in machine shops, metal fabrication facilities, and maintenance environments where M3.5 x 0.60 metric threads are required. It is appropriate for both manual tapping with a tap wrench and use in drill press or CNC tapping operations at controlled feed rates. The M3.5 x 0.60 thread form follows standard ISO metric specifications, making it suitable for fastener repair, fixture building, and component assembly work across light industrial and mechanical applications.

Key Features

• M3.5 x 0.60 ISO metric thread form for standard metric fastener compatibility
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and wear resistance for threading ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Plug chamfer style (3-5 thread lead) allows easy starting in through-holes and blind holes
• Lightweight at 0.09 pounds for easy handling during hand or machine tapping
• Compatible with standard tap wrenches, T-handle wrenches, and machine tap holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock tap for applications requiring M3.5 x 0.60 metric internal threads in through-hole or blind-hole configurations.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or experienced technician should select the correct tap drill size for an M3.5 x 0.60 thread before use; use appropriate cutting fluid to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping and maintain proper tap alignment to avoid tap breakage. When tapping blind holes, clear chips frequently by reversing the tap to prevent binding and breakage.
