Plug taps feature a chamfer on the first 3 to 5 threads, making them the most versatile starting point for most threading jobs. This tap is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who require reliable thread-cutting performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hand plug tap is used in light manufacturing, maintenance and repair operations, plumbing rough-in, electrical conduit work, and general mechanical assembly wherever a 12-24 machine thread must be cut by hand.

Always use cutting fluid appropriate to the work material to extend tap life and reduce the risk of breakage. Ensure the tap is started square to the workpiece and backed off periodically to clear chips. Never force a tap — if resistance increases sharply, back out and clear chips before continuing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hand Plug Tap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: EAGLE CUTTING TOOL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: HT-1224-P-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233861075250,"sku":"HT-1224-P-I","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307622694.png?v=1780110553","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-ht-1224-p-i-hss-hand-plug-tap-12-24","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
