Eagle Cutting Tool MT-060-100-B-I M6.0x1.00 Hss Metric Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-060-100-B-I is an M6.0x1.00 high-speed steel (HSS) metric bottom tap designed to cut threads to the full depth of a blind hole. With a 6mm major diameter and a 1.00mm thread pitch, this tap produces standard metric internal threads in steel, aluminum, cast iron, and similar materials. The bottom tap geometry features minimal taper on the leading threads, allowing the tool to thread closer to the bottom of a blind bore than a taper or plug tap. It is the final tap used in a progressive tapping sequence and is a standard tool for machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working with metric fastener systems.

This tap is suited for general metalworking and maintenance applications where M6 metric threads are required in blind holes. Typical use cases include threading holes in machine frames, brackets, enclosures, and mechanical assemblies across light industrial, HVAC equipment manufacturing, and facilities maintenance environments. The M6.0x1.00 thread form is one of the most common metric thread sizes, making this tap a frequently reached tool in any shop or field service kit that works with metric hardware.

Key Features

• M6.0x1.00 metric thread profile for standard metric fastener compatibility
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials
• Bottom tap geometry allows threading close to the bottom of blind holes
• Lightweight at 0.09 pounds, suitable for hand tap handles or tapping fixtures
• Minimum order quantity of 1, available as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M6.0x1.00 metric bottom tap suitable for use with any compatible tap handle, T-handle wrench, or tapping fixture that accepts the appropriate shank size for this tool class.

Installation Notes

Bottom taps are typically the third tap in a hand-tapping sequence, used after a taper and plug tap have established the thread form. Secure the workpiece before tapping and use cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Apply consistent, controlled torque and back off periodically to break chips, especially in deeper blind holes. Follow applicable shop safety practices and relevant standards for thread cutting operations.
