Eagle Cutting Tool MT-200-150-T-I Hss Metric Taper Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-200-150-T-I is an M20 x 1.50mm pitch high-speed steel (HSS) metric taper tap designed for cutting internal threads in metal workpieces. The taper lead — typically 8 to 10 threads of progressive engagement — eases starting in through-holes and distributes cutting load across multiple teeth, reducing torque demand and the risk of tap breakage. At 0.38 pounds, it is a standard hand-tap-size tool suited for use in a tap wrench, machine chuck, or tapping fixture. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians reach for this tap when threading mild steel, aluminum, brass, or similar machinable materials to M20 coarse-pitch specifications.

This tap is suited for general industrial, maintenance, and fabrication work requiring M20 x 1.50mm metric thread forms. The taper style makes it the preferred first tap when starting a new hole, particularly in through-hole applications where the lead threads can exit the bottom of the part. It is commonly used in manufacturing shops, repair facilities, and field maintenance environments where metric fastener compatibility is required.

Key Features

• M20 x 1.50mm metric thread profile for standard metric fastener compatibility
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and heat resistance during cutting
• Taper lead design distributes cutting load for easier thread starting in through-holes
• Lightweight at 0.38 pounds for comfortable hand-tap or machine use
• Minimum order quantity of 1 — available as a single-piece purchase

Compatibility

Designed for cutting M20 x 1.50mm pitch internal threads in through-hole applications across mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials. Fits standard tap wrenches and machine tool holders sized for M20 taps.

Installation Notes

Thread cutting should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician following applicable shop safety practices. Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping, and use an appropriate cutting fluid to reduce friction and extend tap life. Apply steady, even torque — back off a partial turn periodically to break chips and prevent binding. Never force a tap against excessive resistance, as HSS taps are brittle and will fracture under shock load.
