Eagle Cutting Tool MT-080-100-T-I M8x1.00 Hss Metric Taper Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-080-100-T-I is an M8.0 x 1.00 high-speed steel (HSS) metric taper tap designed for threading operations in metalworking and mechanical assembly. The taper style features a gradual lead-in over several threads, reducing cutting resistance and making it easier to start a thread straight in a drilled hole. Built from HSS, the tap handles the heat and wear demands of threading steel, iron, aluminum, and similar materials. Weighing 0.09 pounds, this is a compact, single-piece cutting tool suited for hand tapping or machine tapping in production and maintenance environments. Licensed tradespeople and machinists across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades rely on metric taper taps when fabricating or repairing threaded connections in metric-spec equipment.

This tap is intended for cutting internal M8.0 x 1.00 metric threads in through-holes or blind holes where a taper lead is acceptable. The 1.00 mm pitch is the standard coarse pitch for M8 fastener threads, making this tap compatible with the most common M8 hardware encountered in imported equipment, metric machinery, and OEM assemblies. It is well suited for use in field repair situations, shop fabrication, and equipment maintenance where metric fastener threads need to be cut or restored.

Key Features

• M8.0 x 1.00 metric coarse thread form for compatibility with standard M8 hardware
• Taper style provides gradual thread engagement for easier starting and reduced tap breakage risk
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides durability and heat resistance during cutting
• Lightweight at 0.09 pounds for easy handling in tight work areas
• Minimum order quantity of 1 allows single-unit purchase for maintenance and repair use

Compatibility

Designed for cutting standard M8.0 x 1.00 metric coarse internal threads in materials such as steel, cast iron, and aluminum commonly found in mechanical assemblies and imported equipment.

Installation Notes

Threading operations should be performed by a qualified machinist or tradesperson familiar with proper tap drill sizing for M8.0 x 1.00 threads. Always use appropriate cutting fluid to extend tap life and reduce the chance of breakage. Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping and advance the tap with periodic back-turns to break chips, especially in blind holes. Inspect the tap for wear or damage before each use and retire worn taps to avoid thread quality issues or breakage in the workpiece.
