Eagle Cutting Tool MT-120-125-P-I M12.0x1.25 Hss Metric Plug Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-120-125-P-I is an M12.0x1.25 high-speed steel (HSS) metric plug tap designed to cut internal threads in metal workpieces. The plug tap chamfer style — typically 3 to 5 threads of lead — makes it suitable for threading through holes and most blind-hole applications where a starter or bottoming tap is not required. HSS construction provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for production and maintenance tapping in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials. Trade professionals in plumbing, HVAC, and electrical fabrication shops use this tap for threading fastener holes and fittings during equipment assembly or field repair.

This tap is sized at M12.0 with a 1.25 mm pitch, a fine-pitch metric thread commonly found in automotive, mechanical, and industrial applications. It is appropriate for use in hand tap handles or machine tapping operations at appropriate speeds for the workpiece material. Minimum order quantity is 1 unit, making it practical for single-tap replacement or small-shop stocking.

Key Features

• M12.0x1.25 fine-pitch metric thread form for precise internal threading
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Plug chamfer style suits through-hole and general-purpose blind-hole tapping
• Compatible with standard tap handles and machine tapping chucks
• Lightweight at 0.38 pounds for easy handling and tool storage

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose M12.0x1.25 metric plug tap suitable for use in standard tap holders and tapping heads sized for the M12 shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Always secure the workpiece firmly before tapping and align the tap perpendicular to the drilled hole to avoid thread distortion or tap breakage. Use an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend tap life. Back the tap off periodically to break chips, especially in blind holes. Replace worn or damaged taps rather than forcing them, as broken taps in a workpiece are difficult to remove.
