Eagle Cutting Tool HT-264-P-I Hss Hand Plug Tap 2-64

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL HT-264-P-I is a 2-64 UNF high-speed steel hand plug tap designed for threading small-diameter holes by hand. The plug chamfer style features a gradual lead-in that distributes cutting load across several threads, making it well suited for through-hole threading in a wide range of materials including steel, aluminum, brass, and plastics. This tap is manufactured to standard 2-64 UNF thread form geometry and is a reliable choice for machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance professionals working on fine-pitch fastener applications.

The HT-264-P-I is used in applications requiring a 2-64 UNF thread, which is a fine-thread series commonly found in precision instruments, small fastener assemblies, electronics hardware, and light mechanical components. The plug chamfer design makes it appropriate for both through-hole and moderately deep blind-hole threading when hand tapping with a tap wrench. This tap is an import-grade tool suitable for production and maintenance use where consistent thread quality at a practical cost is the priority.

Key Features

• 2-64 UNF thread form for fine-pitch small-diameter threading applications
• High-speed steel construction provides wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials
• Plug chamfer style with gradual lead distributes cutting load for smoother hand tapping
• Suitable for through-hole and moderate-depth blind-hole threading
• Import-grade manufacturing balances performance and cost for production or maintenance use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-64 UNF hand plug tap compatible with conventional tap wrenches and tap holders accepting the standard shank size for this thread class.

Installation Notes

Hand plug taps should be installed by a machinist or maintenance technician using a properly sized tap wrench. Always use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce friction and extend tool life. Ensure the tap is started square to the hole to avoid cross-threading or tap breakage, and back off periodically to clear chips when tapping steel or other ferrous materials. Follow applicable shop safety practices when handling cutting tools.
