Eagle Cutting Tool MT-220-150-T-I Hss Metric Taper Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-220-150-T-I is an M22 x 1.50 high-speed steel (HSS) metric taper tap designed for cutting internal threads in metal workpieces. The taper lead — typically 8 to 10 threads of chamfer — makes it easier to start the tap square to the hole and progressively engage the material, reducing the risk of cross-threading or tap breakage. At 0.97 pounds, this is a full-size production tap suited for use in a tap wrench, machine spindle, or CNC tapping fixture. It is intended for use by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance trades working with metric-threaded fastener applications.

This tap is used to create M22 x 1.50 fine-pitch internal threads, which are common in automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial machinery applications where a finer thread pitch is required compared to the M22 coarse standard. It is well suited for through-hole and blind-hole applications where the taper lead has room to advance. Typical materials include mild steel, aluminum, and other machinable metals. This import-grade tap is appropriate for general shop use and moderate-volume production work.

Key Features

• M22 x 1.50 fine-pitch metric thread form for automotive and industrial applications
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides wear resistance and heat tolerance during tapping
• Taper chamfer (8-10 thread lead) eases starting and reduces tap breakage risk
• Compatible with standard tap wrenches, T-handle wrenches, and machine tapping setups
• Import grade suitable for general maintenance, repair, and moderate production use

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring M22 x 1.50 internal metric threads. Fits standard tap wrench and machine spindle holders sized for this tap shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping and ensure the pilot hole is drilled to the correct metric tap drill size for M22 x 1.50 threads. Apply cutting fluid throughout the tapping operation to reduce heat buildup and extend tap life. Advance the tap in short increments and reverse periodically to break chips, especially in blind holes. Worn or damaged taps should be replaced rather than forced to avoid breakage in the workpiece.
