Eagle Cutting Tool MT-080-125-P-I M8.0x1.25 Metric Plug Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-080-125-P-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) metric plug tap ground to M8.0x1.25 thread specifications. Plug taps feature a tapered lead of 3 to 5 threads, making them the standard choice for through-holes and for continuing threads started by a taper tap in blind holes. The HSS construction provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for threading steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials in production and maintenance environments. At 0.09 pounds, this is a compact, single-piece cutting tool used by machinists, pipefitters, maintenance technicians, and general trade professionals.

This tap is suited for threading M8.0x1.25 metric holes in both shop and field applications. The plug tap style makes it versatile across through-hole and partially blind-hole work. Common applications include fabrication, equipment repair, HVAC bracket and component work, and general mechanical maintenance where metric fastener threads must be cut or restored. The import designation indicates offshore manufacture, making this an economical option for general-purpose threading tasks.

Key Features

• M8.0x1.25 metric thread specification for standard metric fastener compatibility
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for hardness and wear resistance across a range of base metals
• Plug tap style with 3 to 5 thread taper lead for versatile use in through-holes and blind holes

• Minimum order quantity of 1 for single-unit procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M8.0x1.25 metric plug tap suitable for use with any standard tap wrench, T-handle, or machine tapping setup that accepts the appropriate tap shank size for this thread range.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed and operated by a qualified machinist or tradesperson familiar with hand and machine tapping procedures. Always secure the workpiece before tapping and use an appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Back the tap off periodically to break chips and prevent binding, particularly in blind holes. Inspect the tap for wear or damage before each use and replace if cutting edges are chipped or dulled.
