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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC thread form for standard unified coarse-thread applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability and wear resistance across a range of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaper point design provides easy starting and accurate alignment in pre-drilled holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-tap style intended for use with a standard tap wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.31 pounds for easy single-hand control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hand Taper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.31 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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-3750-16-T-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233350680882,"sku":"HT-3750-16-T-I","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307622936.png?v=1780098092","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-ht-3750-16-t-i-hand-taper-tap-3-8-16","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
