Eagle Cutting Tool MT-070-100-T-I M7.0x1.00 Taper Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-070-100-T-I is an M7.0x1.00 high-speed steel (HSS) metric hand taper tap designed for cutting internal threads by hand in a range of metals and materials. The taper tap style features a gradual lead that distributes cutting load across multiple teeth, making it the preferred starting tap when threading a new hole. At 7mm nominal diameter with a 1.00mm thread pitch, this tap covers a common metric fastener size used across mechanical, plumbing, and industrial applications. The HSS construction provides hardness and heat resistance suitable for threading steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials.

This tap is intended for hand threading operations where a tap wrench or T-handle is used to drive the tool. It is well-suited for maintenance, repair, and fabrication work in shops, field service environments, and manufacturing settings. Trade professionals including machinists, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance technicians commonly use this size when restoring damaged threads or tapping new holes in equipment and fixtures.

Key Features

• M7.0x1.00 metric thread form for precise thread cutting at a common fastener specification
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability and resistance to heat generated during cutting
• Taper lead distributes cutting forces gradually, reducing tap breakage risk and easing thread starting
• Designed for hand operation with a standard tap wrench or T-handle driver
• Minimum order quantity of 1, suitable for single-unit procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a hand taper tap for use in any application requiring M7.0x1.00 metric internal threads, compatible with standard metric tap wrench tooling.

Installation Notes

Always ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before beginning a tapping operation. Use an appropriate cutting fluid to reduce friction and extend tap life, particularly when threading steel. Back the tap off periodically to break chips and prevent binding. Inspect the tap for wear or damage before each use, as a chipped or dull tap can result in broken tooling or stripped threads.
