Eagle Cutting Tool MT-035-060-T-I M3.5x0.60 Hss Metric Taper Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-035-060-T-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) metric taper tap sized M3.5 x 0.60, designed to cut internal threads in metal workpieces. The taper lead — typically 8 to 10 threads of gradual chamfer — allows the tap to start easily in a drilled hole and progressively form the thread profile. This tap is suited for use in hand tapping operations or low-speed machine tapping where a guided entry is needed. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians reach for taper taps when starting threads in through-holes or when the application calls for a controlled, aligned thread start.

This tap is used in general metalworking, maintenance, repair, and fabrication settings where M3.5 x 0.60 metric threads are required. The M3.5 x 0.60 designation indicates a 3.5 mm nominal thread diameter with a 0.60 mm thread pitch. It is appropriate for ferrous and non-ferrous metals including mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials encountered in light manufacturing, HVAC equipment assembly, and field repair work.

Key Features

• M3.5 x 0.60 metric thread form for standard metric fastener compatibility
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials
• Taper chamfer lead (approx. 8-10 threads) for easy hole entry and aligned thread starting
• Import-grade tap suitable for general maintenance, repair, and fabrication applications
• Minimum order quantity of 1 — available as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed to cut standard M3.5 x 0.60 metric internal threads compatible with M3.5 class metric fasteners and hardware per ISO metric thread standards.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified maintenance technician should select the correct tap drill size for M3.5 x 0.60 threads before use. Secure the workpiece firmly and apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tap life and reduce the risk of breakage. Use a calibrated tap handle or low-speed tapping machine and maintain alignment with the drilled hole throughout the operation. Never force a tap against resistance — back off periodically to break chips and clear the flutes.
