This import-grade tap produces clean, accurate internal threads in a 9\/16 inch diameter with 18 threads per inch (UNF fine thread pitch). It is used in metal fabrication, maintenance, and repair work where a bottoming chamfer is required to maximize thread engagement in shallow or blind holes. Machinists, millwrights, and general metalworkers are the primary users of this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bottom tap is suited for hand tapping applications in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including steel, aluminum, and brass. The bottoming style features a short 1-2 thread chamfer, allowing threads to be cut as close to the bottom of a blind hole as possible. It is commonly used in manufacturing shops, machine repair facilities, and field maintenance settings where fine-thread fastener installations demand full thread depth in limited-depth holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9\/16-18 UNF thread form for fine-pitch internal threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and wear resistance for hand tapping operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBottom tap chamfer style allows threading to the base of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand tap design compatible with standard tap wrenches and T-handle drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.31 pounds for easy single-hand use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard supply tap for 9\/16-18 UNF hand tapping applications.

Always ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before tapping. Use appropriate cutting fluid to reduce friction and extend tap life, and back off the tap periodically to break chips and prevent binding. Inspect the tap for wear or damage before each use, as a damaged tap can seize in the hole and cause workpiece damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16-18 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\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-5625-18-B-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233580089650,"sku":"HT-5625-18-B-I","price":21.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307623065.png?v=1780103739","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-ht-5625-18-b-i-9-16-18-hss-bottom-tap","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
