Eagle Cutting Tool HT-1032-P-I 10-32 Hss Hand Plug Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL HT-1032-P-I is a 10-32 high-speed steel (HSS) hand plug tap designed for cutting internal threads by hand in metal, plastic, and similar materials. The plug chamfer style — with approximately 3 to 5 threads of lead — makes this tap well suited for through-holes and most general-purpose tapping work where a starting tap is not required. At 0.02 pounds, it is a lightweight, single-piece tool that machinists, maintenance technicians, electricians, and plumbers reach for when threading fastener holes in the field or at a workbench.

This tap is sized for the 10-32 Unified Fine (UNF) thread standard, a common thread specification used in electrical enclosures, equipment panels, instrument fittings, and light mechanical assemblies. The HSS construction provides adequate hardness and wear resistance for hand tapping in mild steel, aluminum, brass, and thermoplastics. It is suited for both shop and field use wherever a 10-32 threaded hole needs to be cut or restored without power-driven tooling.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread form for fine-pitch threading applications
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for hardness and wear resistance
• Plug chamfer geometry accommodates through-holes and general-purpose hand tapping
• Lightweight at 0.02 pounds for easy handling and portability
• Minimum order quantity of 1 — available as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as a hand tap for cutting or restoring 10-32 UNF internal threads in through-hole applications across a range of workpiece materials including mild steel, aluminum, brass, and plastic.

Installation Notes

This tool is intended for hand tapping only and should be used with a proper tap wrench to maintain alignment and control torque. Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping, and apply a suitable cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve thread quality in metal substrates. Back the tap out periodically to clear chips and prevent binding. Do not use this tap in power-driven equipment unless it is explicitly rated for machine use.
