Eagle Cutting Tool MT-220-250-T-I M22.0x2.50 Taper Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-220-250-T-I is an M22.0 x 2.50 high-speed steel (HSS) metric taper tap designed for cutting internal threads in metal workpieces. The taper tap features a gradually tapered lead that guides the tool into an unthreaded hole, making it the standard starting choice when threading from scratch rather than following a plug or bottoming tap. Built to metric thread standards, this tap cuts a 22.0 mm nominal diameter thread with a 2.50 mm pitch. It is suited for use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments where metric fastener compatibility is required.

This tap is used in applications involving steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar machinable metals where M22 x 2.50 metric threads are specified. Typical scenarios include threading bolt holes in structural components, machinery housings, and industrial equipment frames. The taper entry is particularly well suited for through-holes and for initiating thread cuts in new material. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working to metric standards will find this tap appropriate for both manual tapping and low-speed machine tapping operations.

Key Features

• M22.0 x 2.50 metric thread specification for standard metric fastener compatibility
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and wear resistance across a range of common metals
• Taper lead design eases entry into unthreaded holes and reduces initial cutting force
• Suitable for hand tapping and low-speed machine tapping applications
• Import-grade tooling appropriate for general-purpose and maintenance threading work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose metric taper tap for use in any application requiring M22.0 x 2.50 internal threads in machinable metal stock.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by machinists and maintenance technicians using a tap wrench or appropriately sized tapping head. Always use a suitable cutting fluid when tapping ferrous metals to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Secure the workpiece firmly before starting and align the tap perpendicular to the hole to avoid tap breakage. Follow applicable shop safety practices and equipment manufacturer guidelines when performing machine tapping operations.
