Eagle Cutting Tool HT-3750-24-T-I 3/8-24 Hss Hand Taper Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL HT-3750-24-T-I is a 3/8-24 high-speed steel (HSS) hand taper tap designed for cutting internal threads in metal workpieces. The taper style features a gradual lead that eases thread engagement from the start, reducing the torque required to begin the cut. Built from HSS, the tap holds its edge under the friction and heat generated during manual threading operations. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians use this tap when a threading machine is not available or when precision hand control is required for the job.

This tap is suited for general-purpose threading applications in ferrous and non-ferrous metals where a 3/8-24 UNF thread is specified. The 3/8-24 designation indicates a 3/8-inch nominal diameter with 24 threads per inch, a fine-thread pitch commonly used in mechanical assemblies requiring a secure, vibration-resistant connection. It is appropriate for production shops, maintenance and repair operations, and field service work where hand tapping is part of the workflow.

Key Features

• 3/8-24 UNF thread form — fine-pitch for vibration-resistant mechanical connections
• Taper lead style for gradual thread engagement and reduced starting torque
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction retains cutting edge under heat and friction
• Designed for hand tapping operations without machine drive required
• Lightweight at 0.31 pounds for easy handling during extended use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hand tap for use in any application requiring a 3/8-24 UNF internal thread cut by hand.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified maintenance technician should select the correct tap drill size for a 3/8-24 UNF thread before beginning work. Secure the workpiece firmly and use a calibrated tap handle to maintain alignment perpendicular to the drilled hole. Apply cutting fluid throughout the operation to reduce heat buildup and extend tap life. Back the tap off regularly to break chips and prevent binding or breakage.
