The plug tap chamfer style — typically 3 to 5 threads of lead — makes it suitable for through-hole threading and most general-purpose tapping operations. Built from HSS for durability in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, this tap handles production and maintenance threading tasks where a standard metric thread profile is required. At 0.38 pounds, it is a lightweight, hand-tool- or machine-compatible tap for bench and drill-press use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used wherever an M18.0 thread with a 2.50 mm pitch is specified — common in heavy fastener applications, machinery frames, structural components, and large-diameter metric bolt patterns. It is appropriate for job shop, maintenance and repair, and production environments. Machinists, millwrights, and tool-and-die technicians use this tap when threading steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar machinable materials to standard ISO metric thread form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM18.0x2.50 metric thread form per ISO standard pitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel (HSS) construction for wear resistance across a range of machinable metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer geometry suits through-hole and general-purpose tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard tap handles and CNC or drill-press tapping attachments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.38 pounds for easy handling and tool-crib storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-geometry replacement or production tap for any application requiring an M18.0x2.50 metric internal thread.

Use an appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound for the material being threaded. For machine tapping, set spindle speed according to the material and tap diameter recommendations for HSS tooling. Inspect tap flutes for chips and wear after each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M18.0x2.50\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ISO Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug (General Purpose)\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-180-250-P-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233756021042,"sku":"MT-180-250-P-I","price":33.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307623507.png?v=1780108465","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-mt-180-250-p-i-m18x2-50-hss-plug-tap","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
