Eagle Cutting Tool MT-270-300-P-I Hss Metric Plug Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-270-300-P-I is an M27.0x3.00 high-speed steel (HSS) metric plug tap designed for cutting internal threads in metal workpieces. The plug tap chamfer style — typically 3 to 5 lead threads — allows it to start easily in through-holes and most blind-hole applications where some clearance exists at the bottom. At an M27 diameter with a 3.00 mm pitch, this tap is suited for larger fastener thread work commonly encountered in heavy equipment, structural fabrication, and industrial machinery maintenance. Machinists, maintenance techs, and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users.

This tap is used in job shop, production, and field maintenance settings where M27x3.00 metric threads must be cut or restored. It is appropriate for use in ferrous metals, cast iron, and other machinable materials when used with proper cutting fluid. The import designation indicates this is a cost-effective option for general-purpose tapping operations where ultra-premium tooling is not required. Suitable for use in hand tapping or with a tapping machine at controlled speeds.

Key Features

• M27.0x3.00 metric thread form for larger-diameter internal thread cutting
• Plug chamfer style — 3 to 5 lead threads — works in through-holes and most blind holes with adequate clearance
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides good wear resistance and toughness across a range of machinable materials
• General-purpose import grade suitable for maintenance, repair, and non-critical production tapping
• Minimum order quantity of 1 — available as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed for cutting M27.0x3.00 metric internal threads in through-hole and blind-hole applications across general metalworking and industrial maintenance operations. No specific machine or model compatibility was stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

Tapping should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician using proper tap wrenches or a tapping machine set to appropriate speed and torque for the material being threaded. Always apply cutting fluid rated for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping and ensure the tap is started square to the hole to prevent tap breakage. Follow applicable shop safety practices and machinery guarding standards when power tapping.
