Eagle Cutting Tool MT-120-125-B-I M12x1.25 Hss Metric Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-120-125-B-I is an M12 x 1.25 high-speed steel (HSS) metric bottom tap designed for threading blind holes to the full depth of the cut. The bottom tap geometry features minimal taper on the leading threads, allowing it to cut threads as close to the bottom of a hole as possible. At 0.38 pounds, this import-grade tap is suited for production and maintenance threading operations where a fine 1.25 mm pitch is required on M12 fastener applications.

This tap is used in metalworking shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments where metric fine-thread blind holes are common. Typical applications include threading engine components, hydraulic fittings, machine frames, and structural assemblies that require the M12 x 1.25 fine thread standard. It is installed by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working with steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar machinable materials.

Key Features

• M12 x 1.25 metric fine thread profile for tight-tolerance fastener applications
• Bottom tap style threads to the floor of blind holes with minimal runout
• HSS construction provides hardness and wear resistance across a range of machinable metals
• Lightweight at 0.38 pounds for easy handling in handheld or machine-tapping setups
• Import grade offers cost-effective performance for general production threading tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M12 x 1.25 bottom tap suitable for use in hand tap wrenches, tapping arms, and CNC or manual lathes and mills configured for metric fine-thread operations.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with threading procedures. Always ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and the pilot hole is drilled to the correct tap drill diameter before threading. Use appropriate cutting fluid to extend tap life and reduce the risk of breakage, especially in blind-hole applications. Follow applicable shop safety practices and machinery guarding requirements when operating tapping equipment.
