It produces internally threaded holes in metal and other materials using a standard tap wrench or T-handle. The tap features precision-cut threads that are accurately formed to deliver consistent, exact threading results. Heat treatment and tempering give the cutting flutes tile-hard threads, which extends service life under repeated use. This tool is suited for maintenance technicians, machinists, and trade professionals who need reliable thread repair or new thread creation in the field or shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis plug tap is intended for hand-tapping operations where a starting taper tap has already been used or where through-holes allow a plug chamfer entry. The 3\/8-16 NC thread specification is one of the most common fractional thread sizes in general mechanical assembly, making this tap a standard addition to any thread repair kit. The package contains 2 taps per unit, providing a backup for high-use environments or shared tool kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 national coarse thread form for widely compatible thread cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug style chamfer for use in through-holes and partially threaded blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-formed threads for consistent, accurate thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat treated and tempered for extended cutting life and hardness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for hand cutting applications with standard tap wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in a 2-piece package for redundancy in field or shop use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for hand-tapping 3\/8-16 NC threads in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where plug-style entry is appropriate for the application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA licensed machinist or experienced trade technician should select the correct tap drill size before starting to ensure proper thread engagement percentage. Always use cutting fluid or tapping oil when threading metal to reduce heat buildup and extend tap life. Back the tap out periodically to clear chips and prevent binding, especially in blind holes. Do not force the tap if resistance increases sharply, as this can result in tap breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: National Coarse (NC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hand cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.14 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 95107\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CENTURY DRILL \u0026 TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51562589356338,"sku":"95107","price":17.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/68d6ec823683f384abce9773611bbc09_8acd5e42-b701-490f-a089-b305f08bb397.jpg?v=1786480257","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/century-drill-tool-co-inc-95107-plug-tap-3-8-16-nc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
