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

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-120-125-T-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) metric taper tap designed for cutting internal M12x1.25 threads. A taper tap features a gradual lead that distributes cutting load across several threads, making it well-suited for starting threads in through-holes or beginning blind-hole tapping operations. At 0.38 pounds, it is a lightweight hand or machine tap sized for M12 fine-pitch thread work. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians use this tap when creating or restoring metric fine-pitch threads in steel, aluminum, cast iron, and similar materials.

This tap is appropriate for both production shop and field maintenance applications where M12x1.25 metric fine threads are required. It is commonly used in automotive, mechanical, and industrial maintenance settings. The taper geometry makes it a preferred starting tap when threading new holes, particularly in tougher materials where a gradual engagement reduces tool stress and improves thread form accuracy.

Key Features

• M12x1.25 fine-pitch metric thread form for precise internal thread cutting
• Taper lead design distributes cutting load gradually for easier thread starts
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Lightweight at 0.38 pounds for easy handling in hand-tapping and machine-tapping setups
• Minimum order quantity of 1 for single-unit purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or stock tap for any application requiring M12x1.25 metric internal threads. Compatible with standard tap handles, T-handle wrenches, and CNC or manual tapping machines equipped to accept the appropriate shank size.

Installation Notes

Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping. Use the appropriate cutting fluid or tapping lubricant for the material being threaded to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Align the tap squarely with the drilled hole before applying cutting pressure. Reverse the tap periodically to break chips, particularly in blind-hole applications, and never force a tap against resistance.
