Eagle Cutting Tool MT-240-300-P-I M24x3 Hss Metric Plug Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-240-300-P-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) metric plug tap designed to cut internal threads in a variety of workpiece materials. Sized for M24.0x3.00 metric thread profiles, this plug tap features a chamfer on the leading threads that allows it to start easily in a pre-drilled hole and progress through the full thread depth. It is suitable for use in machine tapping operations or by hand with a tap wrench. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals rely on this style of tap for threading holes in ferrous metals, aluminum, and similar materials.

This tap is suited for general-purpose threading applications in manufacturing, fabrication, and maintenance environments. The M24.0x3.00 specification identifies it as a coarse-pitch metric thread, commonly encountered in heavy equipment, structural fastener applications, and industrial machinery. The plug chamfer style makes it a practical choice for through-holes and for starting threads in blind holes where a bottoming tap will follow to complete the thread depth.

Key Features

• M24.0x3.00 metric coarse-pitch thread profile for standard metric fastener compatibility
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides durability and heat resistance during cutting
• Plug chamfer lead allows easy starting in pre-drilled holes and smooth thread progression
• Suitable for both machine tapping and hand tapping applications
• Minimum order quantity of 1 — available as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose metric plug tap for use in pre-drilled holes sized to the standard M24.0x3.00 metric coarse-pitch tap drill specification.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by licensed machinists, toolroom technicians, or qualified maintenance professionals. Always use the correct tap drill size for M24.0x3.00 threads and apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Secure the workpiece firmly before beginning the tapping operation. Do not force a tap that binds — back off periodically to break chips and prevent tap breakage.
