It is designed to cut internal threads in through-holes and blind holes during manual tapping operations. The plug chamfer — typically 3 to 5 threads — allows the tap to start easily and progress through the full thread depth. At 0.32 pounds, it is a lightweight, hand-operated tool suited for threading steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials. Machinists, pipefitters, maintenance technicians, and general fabricators reach for this tap when restoring damaged threads or tapping new holes on the bench or in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in maintenance, repair, and fabrication settings where 1\/2-13 UNC threaded holes are required. It is appropriate for both shop and field use, including structural fabrication, mechanical assembly, and equipment repair. The plug-style chamfer makes it the most common choice when tapping through-holes or when the hole depth provides enough clearance for the lead-in threads. It is compatible with standard 1\/2-inch tap handles and T-handle wrenches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-13 UNC thread form for standard unified coarse-thread applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction provides durability across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer design allows easy starting and smooth thread cutting in through-holes and deep blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSA manufactured for consistent thread-form accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.32 pounds for easy single-hand use with a standard tap wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service hand tap for any application requiring a 1\/2-13 UNC plug tap; fits standard 1\/2-inch tap handles and T-handle tap wrenches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecure the workpiece firmly before beginning any tapping operation. Use the appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and produce clean threads. Apply steady, even pressure and back the tap off periodically to break chips and prevent binding. Never force a tap — back it out and clear chips if resistance increases unexpectedly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-13 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hand Plug Tap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\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-5000-13-P-D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233953055026,"sku":"HT-5000-13-P-D","price":20.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307622872.png?v=1780112991","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-ht-5000-13-p-d-1-2-13-hss-hand-plug-tap","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
