The plug chamfer geometry — typically 3-5 threads of lead — makes this tap suited for through-holes and moderately deep blind holes where a gradual thread start is preferred. At 0.31 pounds, it is a lightweight, hand-driven tool that belongs in any machinist, pipefitter, or maintenance technician toolbox. HSS construction provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for tapping steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in general manufacturing, maintenance and repair operations, and field service work wherever a 1\/2-13 UNC thread must be cut or restored. The 1\/2-13 thread designation refers to a 1\/2-inch nominal diameter with 13 threads per inch — a common unified coarse thread size found in structural fastening, machine bases, fixtures, and equipment frames. It is well suited for both shop use and on-site repair applications by millwrights, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-13 UNC thread size for one of the most common unified coarse thread applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for hardness and wear resistance across a range of base metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer design balances cutting ease and thread engagement depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.31 pounds for comfortable hand-tap operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimum order quantity of 1, suitable for single-unit purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard hand plug tap for cutting 1\/2-13 UNC internal threads in through-holes and blind holes across common base metals including steel, cast iron, and aluminum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is driven by hand using a tap wrench — never force it with power tools unless it is rated for machine use. Apply cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend tool life. Back the tap off a quarter turn periodically to break chips and prevent binding. Follow standard shop safety practices: secure the workpiece firmly before tapping and wear eye protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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\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\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-5000-13-P-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233197556018,"sku":"HT-5000-13-P-I","price":16.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307622871.png?v=1780093884","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-ht-5000-13-p-i-hss-hand-plug-tap-1-2","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
