Eagle Cutting Tool MT-120-175-B-I M12x1.75 Hss Metric Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-120-175-B-I is an M12.0x1.75 high-speed steel (HSS) metric bottom tap designed for cutting full threads to the bottom of blind holes. The bottom tap geometry features minimal taper on the leading threads, allowing the tool to thread closer to the base of a hole than taper or plug taps can reach. At 0.38 pounds, it is a lightweight hand or machine tap suited for use in metals, plastics, and similar machinable materials. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians reach for this tap when a through-tap or plug tap leaves too many unthreaded threads in a blind bore.

This tap is used wherever an M12.0x1.75 metric thread must be cut to near-full depth in a blind hole. Common applications include machine repair, fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where metric fastener compatibility is required. The coarse 1.75 mm pitch is the standard thread pitch for M12 fasteners, making this tap a frequent choice for general-purpose metric threading in structural and mechanical assemblies.

Key Features

• Bottom tap style threads blind holes closer to the base than taper or plug taps
• M12.0x1.75 metric coarse thread form matches standard M12 fastener pitch
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and wear resistance for threading common metals and plastics
• Lightweight at 0.38 pounds for easy handling in hand-tap or machine-tap applications
• Minimum order quantity of 1 allows single-unit purchase for service and repair use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M12.0x1.75 metric bottom tap suitable for use with compatible tap wrenches, T-handle wrenches, and CNC or manual tapping machines that accept the appropriate shank size for this tap class.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or experienced technician should select the correct drill size for an M12.0x1.75 thread before tapping. Secure the workpiece firmly and use appropriate cutting fluid to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Apply steady, even pressure and back off periodically to break chips, especially in blind holes. Never force a tap; if resistance increases sharply, back out and clear chips before continuing.
