Eagle Cutting Tool MT-080-125-B-I M8.0x1.25 Hss Metric Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-080-125-B-I is an M8.0x1.25 high-speed steel (HSS) metric bottom tap designed to cut threads to the full depth of a blind hole. The bottom tap geometry features minimal lead threads, allowing it to thread closer to the bottom of a hole than taper or plug taps. At 0.09 pounds, it is a lightweight hand or machine tap suited for threading ferrous and non-ferrous materials in production and repair applications. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians reach for bottom taps when through-hole taps cannot reach required thread depth.

This tap is used in metalworking shops, maintenance facilities, and field repair settings where M8.0x1.25 metric threads are required in blind holes. The import designation indicates it is sourced as a cost-effective option for general-purpose threading work. Typical applications include threading tapped holes in machinery frames, brackets, automotive components, and fabricated steel or aluminum assemblies where a standard M8 coarse-pitch thread is specified.

Key Features

• Bottom tap style cuts threads to the bottom of blind holes
• M8.0x1.25 metric coarse-pitch thread form
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Lightweight at 0.09 pounds for easy handling in hand-tapping or machine use
• Minimum order quantity of 1 for flexible purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose bottom tap for cutting M8.0x1.25 metric coarse-pitch threads in blind holes across a range of metals and compatible materials.

Installation Notes

Bottom taps should only be used after a taper or plug tap has established the thread form in the hole. Always secure the workpiece and use a proper tap handle or tapping attachment to maintain alignment and prevent tap breakage. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and power down any machine spindle before manually engaging the tap.
