Eagle Cutting Tool MT-060-100-P-I M6.0x1.00 Metric Plug Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-060-100-P-I is an M6.0x1.00 high-speed steel (HSS) metric plug tap designed for cutting internal threads in metal workpieces. The plug chamfer — typically 3 to 5 threads — allows the tap to start easily in a through-hole or a sufficiently deep blind hole, making it one of the most versatile tap styles for general threading work. Weighing 0.09 pounds, it is a compact, hand-tool or machine-compatible tap suited for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and HVAC or electrical professionals who need to chase or cut M6 metric threads in the field or shop.

This tap is intended for threading M6.0 holes with a 1.00 mm pitch in steel, aluminum, cast iron, and similar machinable metals. It is well suited for production and repair threading tasks in light manufacturing, mechanical maintenance, and trade-service applications where metric fastener threads are required. Typical uses include tapping new holes in equipment brackets, housings, or enclosures and chasing damaged M6 threads during equipment repair.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric plug tap for use in any application requiring M6.0x1.00 internal threads. Compatible with standard tap wrenches, T-handle tap holders, and machine tap chucks sized for M6 taps.

Installation Notes

Plug taps should be installed by a qualified machinist or experienced tradesperson familiar with proper tapping technique. Always use a correctly sized tap drill (typically 5.0 mm for M6x1.00) and apply cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend tap life. Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping to prevent movement. Back the tap out periodically to clear chips, especially in blind-hole applications, to avoid tap breakage.
