Bottom taps carry minimal lead threads, allowing the cutting edge to reach the bottom of a hole where plug or taper taps cannot finish the thread. This tap cuts an M16 thread profile with a 2.00 mm pitch and is suited for use in metalworking, maintenance, and fabrication applications. Machinists, pipefitters, and general trade mechanics install this type of tap by hand or with a tap wrench on ferrous and non-ferrous metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bottom tap is appropriate for through-hole and blind-hole threading operations on steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar metals where a complete M16 x 2.00 metric thread is required. It is commonly used in manufacturing, repair shops, and field service work when a full-depth internal thread is needed close to the bottom of a drilled hole. The import designation reflects the sourcing of the tap and makes it a cost-effective option for general-purpose threading tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM16.0 x 2.00 metric thread profile for standard metric fastener compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottom tap geometry with minimal lead threads for threading to the base of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimum order quantity of 1, suitable for single-unit purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.38 pounds for easy handling and tap wrench use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard M16.0 x 2.00 metric bottom tap compatible with any application requiring a full-depth internal metric thread in that size and pitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottom taps should only be used after a plug or taper tap has been run through the hole to establish the thread. Always ensure the workpiece is secured before tapping, and use an appropriate cutting fluid to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Power down any machinery and secure the workpiece before beginning hand-tapping operations. Follow applicable shop safety standards when working with cutting tools.\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 2.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottom\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  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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-160-200-B-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233198342450,"sku":"MT-160-200-B-I","price":27.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307623501.png?v=1780093907","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-mt-160-200-b-i-hss-metric-bottom-tap","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
