Eagle Cutting Tool MT-360-300-T-I Hss Metric Taper Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MT-360-300-T-I is an M36.0 x 3.00 pitch HSS metric taper tap designed for cutting internal threads in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The taper lead eases thread entry and helps align the tap during initial engagement, making it well suited for through-hole applications. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), this tap delivers the hardness and wear resistance needed for production threading and job-site repair work. At 2.03 pounds, it is a substantial tool appropriate for the M36 thread class.

This tap is used wherever M36 x 3.00 metric internal threads must be cut or cleaned in metal workpieces. Typical applications include heavy equipment fabrication, structural steel work, industrial machinery repair, and maintenance threading operations. The taper chamfer — typically 8 to 10 threads of lead — makes it the correct choice for starting threads from scratch in through-holes rather than finishing blind bores. It is handled by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance mechanics working in shop or field environments.

Key Features

• M36.0 x 3.00 pitch metric thread form for large-diameter internal threading
• Taper chamfer geometry assists alignment and reduces starting torque
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and heat resistance during cutting
• Import designation offers a cost-effective option for general threading tasks
• Minimum order quantity of 1 — available as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M36.0 x 3.00 metric taper tap suitable for use in any tap handle, machine tap holder, or lathe tailstock chuck sized to accept the corresponding shank diameter for this thread class.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed and operated by machinists or qualified maintenance mechanics using an appropriately sized tap wrench or machine holder. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pilot hole is drilled to the correct tap drill diameter for M36 x 3.00 threads before beginning. Apply cutting fluid throughout the threading operation to reduce heat and extend tool life. Never force a tap against resistance — back off periodically to break chips and prevent tap breakage.
