Product Description
Milwaukee M3-0.60 mm Straight Flute Plug Tap
Model Number: 49-57-5110
The Milwaukee 49-57-5110 is an M3-0.60 mm Straight Flute Plug Tap, a hand tap for cutting internal threads. It cuts an M3 x 0.60 mm thread, the metric M3 coarse thread, in a drilled hole so a bolt or machine screw of that size can thread in, and it is equally at home chasing and cleaning up a damaged or cross-threaded M3 hole to restore it. The straight flute style is the most common general-purpose tap form, and the plug chamfer, a moderate lead-in of a few threads, makes it versatile for both starting a thread and threading most through holes. It is designed for metal, cutting clean threads in brass, aluminum, mild steel, and similar materials.
The tap is machined from high-carbon steel for durability and finished in black oxide for corrosion resistance, with long-lasting laser-etched size markings on the shank so the size stays readable after use. A square shank drives it from any standard tap handle or tap wrench, so it drops into the threading setup a shop already has. For the cleanest threads and the longest tap life, run it with cutting fluid and back it off periodically to clear chips. Note that this is a hand tap and is not recommended for use in power tools.
This tap is part of Milwaukee's line of straight flute plug taps, which covers the common SAE and metric sizes, and it is one of the metric sizes, sitting alongside the M3-0.50 mm, M4, M5, and larger taps so a shop can build out the sizes it needs or round out a tap and die set. It carries Milwaukee's one-year warranty. As an authorized Milwaukee dealer, Great Lakes Power Tools supplies it genuine.
