Eagle Cutting Tool HT-3750-16-T-I Hand Taper Tap 3/8-16

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL HT-3750-16-T-I is a 3/8-16 high-speed steel (HSS) hand taper tap designed for manually threading holes in metal and other materials. The taper point features a gradual lead-in angle that allows the tap to start easily and align accurately in a pre-drilled hole. This tool is built for hand-turning with a tap wrench and is suited to threading applications across maintenance, repair, and fabrication work. At 0.31 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to control during operation.

This tap is used in general-purpose threading applications where a 3/8-16 UNC thread form is required. Common applications include repair of stripped threads, creation of new tapped holes in steel, aluminum, cast iron, and similar materials, and light fabrication work in shop or field environments. It is a standard taper-style tap, making it appropriate as a starting tap when working with through-holes or when beginning a tapping sequence in blind holes.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread form for standard unified coarse-thread applications
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability and wear resistance across a range of materials
• Taper point design provides easy starting and accurate alignment in pre-drilled holes
• Hand-tap style intended for use with a standard tap wrench
• Lightweight at 0.31 pounds for easy single-hand control

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supplemental hand taper tap for any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC thread form, compatible with standard tap wrenches sized for this tap body diameter.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by a machinist, maintenance technician, or qualified tradesperson using a tap wrench. Always ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before tapping. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being threaded to reduce friction and extend tap life. Apply steady, even pressure and back off the tap periodically to break chips and prevent binding or breakage.
