Plug taps feature a chamfer of approximately 3 to 5 threads, making them the standard starting tap for most through-hole and deep blind-hole threading applications. This tap cuts 3\/8-inch diameter threads at a 24 threads-per-inch (TPI) pitch, which falls in the Unified National Fine (UNF) thread series. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians reach for a plug tap when hand-tapping new holes or chasing existing threads on steel, aluminum, and similar materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for hand-tapping operations in general manufacturing, maintenance and repair, and fabrication shops. The UNF 3\/8-24 thread form is common in automotive, aerospace, and industrial fastener applications where a finer thread pitch is required for greater tensile strength and vibration resistance compared to coarse-thread equivalents. It is appropriate for use in ferrous and non-ferrous metals when used with a proper cutting fluid and a correctly sized tap wrench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-24 UNF thread form for fine-pitch hand-tapping operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and wear resistance for cutting metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer (3 to 5 threads) suits both through-hole and deep blind-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManufactured in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.32 pounds for easy handling in a tap wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style hand tap for use in any standard tap wrench or T-handle accepting a 3\/8-24 UNF plug tap.

Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and the pilot hole is drilled to the correct tap drill size for 3\/8-24 UNF threads before starting. Apply a suitable cutting fluid throughout the tapping process and back the tap off periodically to break chips and prevent binding. Never force a tap; excessive torque will cause breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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 Plug 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\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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-P-D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233527169330,"sku":"HT-3750-24-P-D","price":16.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307622930.png?v=1780102305","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-ht-3750-24-p-d-3-8-24-hss-hand-plug-tap","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
