Eagle Cutting Tool HT-23750-8-T-I Hss Hand Taper Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL HT-23750-8-T-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) hand taper tap sized 2-3/8 inches in diameter with 8 threads per inch (TPI). Taper taps feature a gradual lead-in of 8 to 10 tapered threads, making thread starting easier in through holes and blind holes with sufficient depth. This tap is designed for manual threading operations using a tap wrench or similar hand tool. At 6.3 pounds, it is a substantial tool suited for large-diameter threading work in metal fabrication, pipe fitting, and industrial maintenance applications.

This tap is appropriate for threading large-diameter holes in steel, iron, and similar materials where an 8 TPI coarse thread form is required. It is commonly used in heavy industrial, mechanical, and structural fabrication settings. The taper chamfer makes it the preferred choice when starting a thread from scratch in a clean or pre-drilled hole. Machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the typical users of taps in this size range.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for threading ferrous metals
• Taper chamfer (8 to 10 thread lead-in) eases thread starting in through holes and deep blind holes
• 2-3/8 inch diameter with 8 TPI coarse thread form for large-diameter fastener and fitting applications
• Manual hand tap design compatible with standard tap wrenches
• Import-grade tooling suitable for production and maintenance use

Compatibility

Designed as a hand taper tap for use in standard 2-3/8 inch 8 TPI threaded hole applications. Compatible with tap wrenches and similar manual driving tools sized for large-diameter taps.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by a machinist or qualified tradesperson using a properly sized tap wrench. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured before beginning. Apply appropriate cutting fluid throughout the threading operation to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Back the tap off periodically to break chips and prevent tap breakage, particularly in blind hole applications.
