Bottom taps have a chamfer on only 1 to 2 threads, allowing the tap to cut full threads as close to the bottom of a hole as possible. This tool is intended for manual tapping applications and is sized for 2-4.5 inch thread work. It is a standard import-grade tool suited for machine shops, maintenance trades, and fabrication environments where bottom-thread finishing is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bottom tap is used in applications where a plug or taper tap has already started the thread and a full thread depth at the base of a blind hole is needed. It is appropriate for use in metalworking and general fabrication settings, including both production and maintenance-repair contexts. Tradespeople working with steel, iron, aluminum, and similar materials in industrial or shop environments will find this tap suited to manual hand tapping operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across common metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottom-tap geometry with minimal chamfer for threading to the base of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSized for 2-4.5 inch thread applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for hand tapping use with a standard tap wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImport-grade pricing suitable for general-purpose shop use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service hand bottom tap for manual threading operations in metalworking and general fabrication applications requiring 2-4.5 inch thread sizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottom taps are used by machinists and fabricators as the final step in a three-tap sequence after a taper and plug tap have established the thread. Always secure the workpiece and use appropriate cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend tap life. Apply steady, even pressure and back off periodically to break chips and prevent tap breakage. Never force a tap against resistance, as HSS taps are brittle and susceptible to fracture under torque overload.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hand Bottom Tap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-4.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.31 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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-20000-4.5-B-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233393344818,"sku":"HT-20000-4.5-B-I","price":179.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307622674.png?v=1780098868","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-ht-20000-4-5-b-i-hss-hand-bottom-tap","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
