The plug chamfer — typically 3 to 5 threads — allows the tap to start easily in a pre-drilled hole while cutting a full thread profile along most of its flute length. It is suited for production and maintenance threading operations where a clean, accurate M16 fine-pitch thread is required. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working in manufacturing, fabrication, and industrial maintenance are the primary users of this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used for hand tapping or machine tapping applications that call for an M16.0 x 1.50 metric fine thread. It is appropriate for use in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar machinable metals when the correct cutting fluid and drill size are used. The plug style makes it a general-purpose choice for through-holes and sufficiently deep blind holes where a bottoming tap is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM16.0 x 1.50 metric fine thread form for precise internal threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel (HSS) construction provides wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer geometry eases starting and thread engagement in pre-drilled holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for hand tapping and compatible machine tapping setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.38 pounds, minimizing operator fatigue during manual use\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 plug tap for applications requiring an M16.0 x 1.50 internal thread in standard machinable materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is installed by a machinist or qualified tradesperson using a tap wrench or appropriate machine tapping chuck. Always drill the correct tap drill size for M16.0 x 1.50 before tapping and apply cutting fluid throughout the operation to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Never force a tap against resistance — back off periodically to break chips, especially in blind holes. Follow applicable shop safety practices and secure the workpiece firmly before beginning the threading operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M16.0 x 1.50\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric Fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\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-160-150-P-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233363755314,"sku":"MT-160-150-P-I","price":27.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307623503.png?v=1780098432","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-mt-160-150-p-i-hss-metric-plug-tap","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
