The taper chamfer — typically 8 to 10 threads of lead — guides the tap into the hole progressively, making it well suited for starting threads in through-holes and blind holes with adequate depth. HSS construction provides hardness and wear resistance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. This tap is appropriate for use by machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, and maintenance technicians who require reliable metric threading in the field or shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used wherever M12 x 1.75 metric threads are required — a standard coarse thread pitch common in structural fastener applications, machinery frames, motor mounts, and equipment repair. It is suitable for hand-tapping operations using a tap wrench or T-handle and can also be used in low-speed machine tapping setups. The taper lead makes it the preferred choice when starting threads in a new hole rather than chasing or bottoming existing threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM12.0 x 1.75 metric coarse thread profile for standard fastener compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel (HSS) construction for hardness and extended service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper chamfer provides progressive thread engagement for easier starting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for hand-tapping and low-speed machine tapping operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.38 pounds for easy handling and portability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use metric taper tap for M12.0 x 1.75 threading applications in standard through-hole and adequate-depth blind-hole configurations across ferrous and non-ferrous base materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals performing threading operations. Before tapping, ensure the pilot hole is drilled to the correct metric tap drill diameter for M12 x 1.75 threads and that the workpiece is securely fixtured. Apply appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound to lubricate the tap and extend tool life. Never force a tap against hard resistance — back off periodically to break chips and prevent tap breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M12.0 x 1.75\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric Coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.38 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: EAGLE CUTTING TOOL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MT-120-175-T-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233339638066,"sku":"MT-120-175-T-I","price":19.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307623432.png?v=1780097846","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-mt-120-175-t-i-m12x1-75-taper-tap","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
