Bottom taps are ground with minimal chamfer on the leading threads, allowing them to cut full threads to the bottom of a blind hole. This tap is used in hand tapping operations and is well suited for threading tasks where a thread must be run as close to the bottom of a stopped bore as possible. Machinists, pipefitters, and general metalworkers rely on bottom taps as the final step in a three-tap sequence or as the go-to choice for through-hole cleanup in tight-tolerance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is appropriate for threading 3\/8-24 UNF (Unified Fine Thread) holes in a range of metals and materials. The fine thread pitch makes it a common choice in automotive, mechanical, and precision assembly applications where a finer thread engagement is required compared to coarse thread equivalents. It is designed for hand tapping use with a standard tap wrench or T-handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottom chamfer geometry allows threading to the base of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides durability across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-24 UNF thread form for fine-pitch threading applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSA manufactured for consistent dimensional accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard tap wrenches and T-handle drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a hand bottom tap for 3\/8-24 UNF threaded hole applications.

Ensure the tap is started square to the hole to prevent cross-threading or breakage. For blind holes, clear chips frequently by backing the tap out to prevent chip packing at the bottom of the bore. This work is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians following standard shop practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-24 UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hand Bottom Tap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e: USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.32 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-3750-24-B-D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51234020229426,"sku":"HT-3750-24-B-D","price":16.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307622935.png?v=1780115236","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-ht-3750-24-b-d-3-8-24-hss-bottom-tap","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
