Eagle Cutting Tool MT-180-150-P-I Hss Metric Plug Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-180-150-P-I is an M18.0 x 1.50 high-speed steel (HSS) metric plug tap designed for cutting internal threads in metal workpieces. The plug chamfer — typically 3 to 5 threads — allows the tap to start easily in a through hole or a blind hole with adequate depth. At 0.38 pounds, this is a hand-size tool suited for use in a tap wrench, T-handle, or machine tapping setup. HSS construction provides the hardness needed to thread mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials at standard shop feeds.

This tap is used wherever an M18 coarse-pitch thread at 1.50 mm pitch is required. Common applications include fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and light manufacturing where metric fastener threads must be cut or restored. The plug style makes it a general-purpose choice for most through-hole tapping jobs and many blind-hole applications where thread depth is not at the absolute bottom of the hole.

Key Features

• M18.0 x 1.50 metric thread form for precise, standard-compliant internal threads
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across a range of common metals
• Plug chamfer design starts easily and suits both through-hole and adequate-depth blind-hole work
• Lightweight at 0.38 pounds for easy handling in manual or machine tapping operations
• Minimum order quantity of 1 — available as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric plug tap for use with any tap wrench, T-handle, or tapping head that accepts the corresponding tap shank size for M18 taps.

Installation Notes

Secure the workpiece before tapping and ensure the correct drill size for an M18 x 1.50 thread is used prior to tapping. Apply cutting fluid throughout the tapping process to reduce heat and extend tool life. Back the tap off periodically to break chips, especially in blind holes. Always wear appropriate eye protection when operating cutting tools.
