Eagle Cutting Tool HT-10000-12-T-D Hss Hand Taper Tap 1-12

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL HT-10000-12-T-D is a high-speed steel (HSS) hand taper tap designed for cutting internal threads in metal workpieces. The taper tap features a gradual lead angle that eases entry into an unthreaded hole and progressively cuts the thread form to full depth. Ground from HSS stock for durability and heat resistance, this tap is suited for use on steel, iron, aluminum, brass, and similar materials. It is manufactured in the USA to standard thread form specifications and weighs 1.78 pounds.

This tap is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments where new threads must be cut by hand or with a tap wrench. The 1-12 thread designation indicates a 1-inch nominal diameter with 12 threads per inch, a coarse-pitch UNF-compatible profile suited to heavy fastener applications in structural, hydraulic, and industrial assemblies. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working in industrial or commercial settings are the primary installers of this tool.

Key Features

• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides heat and wear resistance during threading operations
• Taper lead angle allows gradual thread engagement, reducing starting force and improving thread alignment
• 1-inch diameter with 12 threads per inch for heavy-duty fastener applications
• USA manufactured to standard thread form tolerances
• Compatible with standard tap wrenches and T-handle holders for manual operation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threading tool for use in any application requiring a 1-12 internal thread cut by hand tap in metal or compatible materials.

Installation Notes

Thread cutting with a hand tap requires a properly sized tap drill hole before starting. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to reduce friction and extend tap life. Advance the tap with consistent pressure, reversing a quarter turn periodically to break chips and prevent binding. Do not force a tap that has stopped advancing, as breakage in the hole can render the workpiece unusable.
