Eagle Cutting Tool HT-264-B-I 2-64 Hss Bottom Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL HT-264-B-I is a 2-64 high-speed steel (HSS) hand bottom tap designed for threading operations that require cutting threads to the bottom of a blind hole. The bottom tap geometry features minimal lead threads, allowing it to thread closer to the bottom of a hole than taper or plug taps. At 0.31 pounds, this is a lightweight hand tool suited for use with a standard tap wrench. It is intended for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and other trade professionals who require precise internal threading in small-diameter work.

This tap is used in applications where a 2-64 unified fine (UNF) thread is required in a blind hole and full thread depth to the bottom of the bore is necessary. Typical scenarios include threading small fastener holes in metal components, precision assemblies, and repair work on fine-threaded hardware. It is appropriate for use in light industrial, maintenance and repair, and fabrication settings where small-diameter hand tapping is performed.

Key Features

• Bottom tap style cuts threads to the bottom of blind holes
• 2-64 thread form for fine-pitch, small-diameter internal threading
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Lightweight at 0.31 pounds for controlled hand-tapping operations
• Minimum order quantity of 1 unit

Compatibility

Designed for use in applications requiring a 2-64 internal thread. Fits standard tap wrench drivers sized for small-diameter hand taps.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed using a standard hand tap wrench. Secure the workpiece before beginning threading operations and apply appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and reduce heat buildup. Back the tap out periodically to clear chips, particularly in blind hole applications. Follow applicable shop safety practices and wear eye protection during all tapping operations.
