Eagle Cutting Tool HT-10000-14-B-I Hss Hand Bottom Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL HT-10000-14-B-I is a 1-inch, 14 threads-per-inch (TPI) hand bottom tap ground from high-speed steel (HSS). Bottom taps are designed to cut threads to the very bottom of a blind hole, making them a critical tool when full thread depth is required in a stopped bore. This import-grade tap suits manual tapping operations performed with a tap wrench or T-handle. Machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, and maintenance technicians reach for this tap when cleaning up existing threads or cutting new ones in steel, cast iron, and similar materials.

This tap is used in general metalworking, maintenance, and repair applications where a 1-inch, 14 TPI unified or specialty thread form must be produced or restored at the bottom of a blind hole. It is well suited for shop floor use, field maintenance, and repair operations across industrial, mechanical, and plumbing-adjacent trades. The bottom-tap geometry means it is typically used as the final tap in a sequence following a taper or plug tap.

Key Features

• Bottom tap geometry threads to the floor of blind holes
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across common metals
• 1 inch diameter with 14 TPI thread pitch
• Manual hand-tap design compatible with standard tap wrenches
• Lightweight at 0.63 pounds for easy single-hand use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard hand tap for use in 1-inch, 14 TPI tapping applications across general metalworking and maintenance operations.

Installation Notes

Hand taps should be installed and driven with an appropriately sized tap wrench to maintain alignment and prevent breakage. Always secure the workpiece before beginning the tapping operation and apply cutting fluid to reduce friction and heat buildup. Back the tap out periodically to clear chips, especially in deeper holes. Follow applicable shop safety practices and consult thread standards for proper pilot hole diameter before starting.
