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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM18.0 x 1.50 metric thread form for precise, standard-compliant internal threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across a range of common metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer design starts easily and suits both through-hole and adequate-depth blind-hole work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.38 pounds for easy handling in manual or machine tapping operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimum order quantity of 1 — available as a single unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecure 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M18.0 x 1.50\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\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  \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-180-150-P-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233490141490,"sku":"MT-180-150-P-I","price":33.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307623509.png?v=1780101256","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-mt-180-150-p-i-hss-metric-plug-tap","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
