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

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-060-100-T-I is an M6.0x1.00 high-speed steel (HSS) metric taper tap designed for cutting internal threads in metal workpieces. The taper point features a gradual lead that guides the tap into the hole and progressively forms the thread, making it well-suited for through-hole applications and for starting threads in blind holes. At 0.09 pounds, it is a lightweight, hand-held or machine-compatible cutting tool. The M6.0 designation indicates a 6 mm nominal thread diameter with a 1.00 mm pitch, conforming to standard metric thread profiles.

This tap is appropriate for use in metalworking, fabrication, maintenance, and repair operations where metric-threaded fastener holes are required. Typical applications include threading steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar workable metals in light industrial, mechanical, and general trade settings. Machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, and field service technicians who work with metric-fastened equipment will find this a standard production or replacement tap for M6 thread work.

Key Features

• M6.0x1.00 metric thread form — 6 mm diameter, 1.00 mm pitch
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for wear resistance and durability across common metals
• Taper point design provides gradual thread engagement for easier tap starting and reduced breakage risk
• Lightweight at 0.09 pounds — suitable for hand-tap handles or machine tapping operations
• Minimum order quantity of 1 — available as a single-piece replacement or production tap

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M6.0x1.00 metric taper tap suitable for use with compatible tap handles, T-handle wrenches, and machine tapping fixtures that accept standard metric tap shank sizes.

Installation Notes

Tapping operations should be performed by a qualified machinist or tradesperson familiar with proper cutting speeds, tap alignment, and cutting fluid use. Always secure the workpiece before tapping and use an appropriate cutting or tapping fluid to extend tool life and improve thread quality. For hand tapping, advance the tap in partial turns and back off periodically to break chips. Inspect the tap for wear or damage before each use — a worn or cracked tap should not be used, as it can break in the hole and become difficult to remove.
