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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM20 x 1.50mm metric thread profile for standard metric fastener compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and heat resistance during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTaper lead design distributes cutting load for easier thread starting in through-holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.38 pounds for comfortable hand-tap or machine use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimum order quantity of 1 — available as a single-piece purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for cutting M20 x 1.50mm pitch internal threads in through-hole applications across mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M20 x 1.50mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taper\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-200-150-T-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233881784626,"sku":"MT-200-150-T-I","price":43.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307623480.png?v=1780111112","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-mt-200-150-t-i-hss-metric-taper-tap","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
