Eagle Cutting Tool MT-240-200-P-I M24.0x2.00 Hss Plug Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-240-200-P-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) metric plug tap designed to cut internal threads in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. This tap produces an M24.0 x 2.00 thread profile, meaning a 24.0 mm nominal diameter with a 2.00 mm pitch. The plug chamfer ground on the lead threads allows the tap to start easily in a pre-drilled through-hole or blind hole with adequate clearance. Machinists, tool-and-die tradespeople, and maintenance technicians reach for plug taps as the most versatile general-purpose tapping choice in a standard three-tap set. The HSS construction holds up under moderate cutting speeds and works with standard cutting fluids.

This tap is suited for production and maintenance applications where M24 x 2.00 coarse-pitch internal threads are required. Common uses include threading bolt holes in structural steel, machinery frames, hydraulic manifold housings, and fabricated assemblies where metric fastener standards apply. It performs in both hand-tapping operations and low-speed machine tapping setups. Shops working to metric standards in manufacturing, maintenance, or fabrication will use this tap with a tap wrench, T-handle, or a tapping head mounted to a drill press or mill.

Key Features

• M24.0 x 2.00 metric coarse thread form for standard metric fastener compatibility
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides good wear resistance at moderate cutting speeds
• Plug chamfer lead allows use in through-holes and blind holes with sufficient depth
• General-purpose design works with hand tapping and machine tapping setups
• Minimum order quantity of 1 unit, suitable for single-tool procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M24.0 x 2.00 metric plug tap suitable for threading pre-drilled holes in typical ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces per metric thread standards.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified tradesperson should select the correct tap drill size for M24 x 2.00 before starting. Secure the workpiece firmly and apply cutting fluid throughout the tapping operation to reduce heat and extend tool life. Back the tap off periodically to break chips, particularly in blind-hole applications. Never force a tap against hard resistance, as HSS taps are brittle and will break if torque is excessive.
