Eagle Cutting Tool MT-045-075-T-I M4.5x0.75 Taper Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-045-075-T-I is an M4.5 x 0.75 high-speed steel (HSS) metric taper tap designed for threading small-diameter holes in metal workpieces. With a taper lead that gradually introduces the cutting edges into the material, this tap starts easily and reduces the force required to begin a thread. It produces standard M4.5 metric threads at a 0.75 mm pitch. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians use it when working with ferrous metals, aluminum, and similar machinable materials where precise metric internal threads are required.

This tap is suited for general-purpose threading applications in manufacturing, mechanical maintenance, and fabrication environments. The taper style makes it the preferred choice when threading through-holes or starting threads in blind holes before following up with a plug or bottoming tap. It is commonly used in light industrial and trade shop settings where M4.5 x 0.75 metric threads are specified.

Key Features

• M4.5 x 0.75 mm pitch 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
• Taper lead style eases thread starting and reduces torque at entry
• Import-grade tooling suited for general-purpose shop and maintenance use
• Minimum order quantity of 1 — available as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric taper tap for use in any tap wrench, T-handle, or machine tapping setup that accepts the appropriate square-drive shank for this tap size.

Installation Notes

Taper taps are installed by licensed machinists and maintenance technicians using a tap wrench or tapping machine. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the tap is started perpendicular to the hole surface to avoid cross-threading or tap breakage. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material throughout the threading operation. Never reverse a tap under load without first clearing chips, as breakage risk increases significantly in small-diameter taps.
