Eagle Cutting Tool MT-240-300-T-I Metric Taper Tap M24.0x3.00

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-240-300-T-I is an M24.0x3.00 high-speed steel (HSS) metric taper tap designed for cutting internal threads in metal workpieces. The taper chamfer on the leading threads distributes cutting force gradually, making it well suited for starting threads in through-holes and blind holes where entry alignment is critical. Built from HSS for durability across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials, this tap is a standard choice for machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians who need reliable metric thread cutting performance in shop or field conditions.

This tap is used wherever M24.0x3.00 metric internal threads must be cut from scratch or reconditioned. Typical applications include fabrication shops, industrial maintenance, and mechanical assembly work involving large-diameter metric fasteners. The taper lead makes it especially practical for hand tapping operations using a tap wrench, as well as for machine tapping setups that require a guided thread start.

Key Features

• M24.0x3.00 metric thread profile for large-diameter internal thread cutting
• Taper chamfer distributes cutting load across multiple leading threads for controlled entry
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and wear resistance across common workpiece materials
• Suitable for hand tapping and compatible with standard machine tapping setups
• Minimum order quantity of 1 for flexible procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation metric taper tap for use in any application requiring M24.0x3.00 internal threads per metric thread standards.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tap wrench or tapping machine. Always ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured before beginning the tapping operation, and use a suitable cutting fluid to reduce friction and extend tap life. Back the tap off periodically to break chips and prevent binding, particularly in deeper holes. Inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use and replace if thread quality is compromised.
