Eagle Cutting Tool MT-360-300-B-I Hss Metric Bottom Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-360-300-B-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) metric bottom tap designed for cutting full threads to the bottom of a blind hole in an M36.0x3.00 thread profile. Bottom taps have minimal chamfer on the leading threads, allowing thread cutting to continue as close to the base of the hole as possible. This tool is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who require precise metric internal threading in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar machinable materials.

This tap is appropriate for use in production shops, maintenance and repair operations, and field applications where an M36.0x3.00 metric coarse thread is specified. The import designation indicates an economical sourcing option for operations where volume usage or cost control is a priority. It is driven using a standard tap wrench, tapping head, or machine spindle configured for the appropriate shank size.

Key Features

• M36.0x3.00 metric coarse thread profile for high-demand threading applications
• Bottom tap geometry allows threading to the base of blind holes
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and wear resistance across common workpiece materials
• Import-grade tooling delivers cost-effective performance for general-purpose use
• Minimum order quantity of 1, suitable for single-unit procurement

Compatibility

Designed for use wherever an M36.0x3.00 metric internal thread is required. Compatible with standard tap wrenches and tapping heads sized for large-diameter taps. Consult tool holder specifications to confirm shank fitment before use.

Installation Notes

Bottom taps should be used as the final step in a tap sequence, following a taper or plug tap to establish the thread. Secure the workpiece and use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being tapped to extend tool life and reduce the risk of tap breakage. Apply steady, even pressure and back off periodically to clear chips, particularly in deep blind holes. Follow applicable shop safety practices and machine guarding requirements when using taps in powered equipment.
