Eagle Cutting Tool CR975-100-I Hss Hex Nut Tap 1 Inch

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL CR975-100-I is a 1-inch high-speed steel (HSS) hex nut tap with a taper chamfer, designed for threading through hex nuts and similar fasteners in production and maintenance applications. The taper chamfer lead eases thread entry and distributes cutting load across multiple teeth, reducing torque demand and improving thread quality. At 0.58 pounds, this is a solid, hand-held or machine-compatible tap suited for use in metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where consistent nut threading is required.

This tap is intended for cutting internal threads in hex nuts at a 1-inch nominal diameter. The taper style makes it well suited for through-hole applications where the tap can pass completely through the workpiece. Typical users include machinists, maintenance mechanics, and tool and die professionals working with carbon steel, mild steel, and similar machinable metals. It is imported and built to standard HSS tap geometry for general-purpose threading work.

Key Features

• 1-inch nominal diameter for hex nut threading applications
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability and heat resistance
• Taper chamfer distributes cutting load for easier thread starting
• Designed for through-hole threading of hex nuts and similar fasteners
• Lightweight at 0.58 pounds for reduced operator fatigue during extended use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1-inch hex nut tap for use in standard through-hole threading operations on compatible hex nuts and fasteners.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed using a standard tap wrench or machine tap holder appropriate for the shank size. Always secure the workpiece firmly before threading and apply cutting fluid to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Follow applicable shop safety practices and inspect the tap for wear or chipping before each use. Do not force a worn or damaged tap, as breakage in the workpiece can result in costly extraction procedures.
