Eagle Cutting Tool MT-200-150-P-I Hss Metric Plug Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-200-150-P-I is an M20.0x1.50 high-speed steel (HSS) metric plug tap designed for cutting internal threads in metal workpieces. The plug chamfer style — typically chamfered on the first 3 to 5 threads — makes it suitable for through-holes and moderately deep blind holes where the tap can be started and advanced with standard threading practice. At 0.97 pounds, it is a full-size tap intended for use with a tap wrench, machine tap holder, or CNC tapping attachment. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working in metric-threaded applications reach for this tap when threading ferrous and non-ferrous materials to the M20 coarse-pitch standard.

This tap is used in metalworking shops, maintenance and repair operations (MRO), and light manufacturing environments where metric fastener compatibility is required. The M20.0x1.50 designation specifies a 20 mm nominal diameter with a 1.50 mm thread pitch, a common specification in automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial machinery applications. It is an import-grade tap suited for general-purpose threading tasks where production volume and tooling budget both factor into tool selection.

Key Features

• M20.0x1.50 thread specification — 20 mm nominal diameter, 1.50 mm pitch
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for hardness and wear resistance across a range of metals
• Plug chamfer geometry for use in through-holes and moderate-depth blind holes
• Import grade — cost-effective for general-purpose and MRO threading tasks
• Compatible with standard tap wrenches, T-handle wrenches, and machine tap holders

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose metric threading applications requiring an M20.0x1.50 thread form, compatible with standard tap wrenches and machine tapping setups sized for large-diameter taps.

Installation Notes

Threading operations with this tap should be performed by a qualified machinist or skilled tradesperson following standard tapping procedure. Always drill the correct tap drill diameter for M20x1.50 before tapping, and use an appropriate cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend tap life. Secure the workpiece firmly before threading, and back the tap off periodically to break chips and prevent binding. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use — a damaged tap can seize in the workpiece or produce out-of-tolerance threads.
