Eagle Cutting Tool HT-1024-P-D Hss Hand Plug Tap 10-24

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL HT-1024-P-D is a high-speed steel (HSS) hand plug tap ground to cut 10-24 unified coarse (UNC) threads. Plug taps are chamfered on the first 3 to 5 threads, making them the standard starting choice for through-holes and most general threading applications. This tap is manufactured in the USA and is intended for hand tapping operations in a wide range of metals and materials common to machining, fabrication, and maintenance work. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians reach for plug taps as the go-to thread-cutting tool before bottoming taps are needed.

The HT-1024-P-D is suited for use in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and field service applications where 10-24 threaded holes are required. The 10-24 size is widely used in light mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, panel work, and HVAC equipment. Hand tapping applications include both new thread creation in drilled holes and chasing existing threads during repair work.

Key Features

• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Plug chamfer (3 to 5 thread lead) suits through-holes and general-purpose threading
• 10-24 UNC thread form for broad compatibility with standard fasteners
• USA manufactured
• Minimum order quantity of 1 — no multi-pack requirement

Compatibility

Designed for hand tapping 10-24 UNC threaded holes in materials typical of general machining, fabrication, and maintenance applications. Use with a standard tap wrench sized for the square drive of this tap.

Installation Notes

Always use a properly sized tap wrench and apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tap life and produce clean threads. Secure the workpiece before tapping and ensure the tap enters the hole squarely to avoid thread misalignment or tap breakage. De-energize and lock out any machinery before tapping threads on installed equipment. Follow applicable shop safety practices and relevant codes for the trade in which this tool is used.
