Eagle Cutting Tool HT-6875-16-P-I Hss Hand Plug Tap 11/16-16

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL HT-6875-16-P-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) hand plug tap designed for cutting internal threads in metal workpieces. This plug-style tap features a chamfer on the first several threads, allowing it to start easily in through-holes or blind holes with sufficient depth. It cuts an 11/16 inch diameter thread at 16 threads per inch (TPI), making it suitable for medium-to-large fastener applications common in mechanical assembly, maintenance, and repair work. At 0.31 pounds, it is a lightweight, hand-driven tool used with a standard tap wrench.

This tap is used in metal fabrication shops, industrial maintenance environments, and field repair situations where internal threads must be cut or restored. The 11/16-16 thread specification suits applications requiring a coarser-pitch unified national thread in a mid-range diameter. It is appropriate for use in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar machinable metals. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians typically use this tool when threading by hand rather than by machine.

Key Features

• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability in a range of metals
• Plug chamfer style for easy starting in through-holes and adequately deep blind holes
• 11/16 inch diameter with 16 TPI for medium-to-large fastener thread applications
• Hand-tap design for use with a standard tap wrench without machine tooling
• Lightweight at 0.31 pounds for comfortable hand operation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hand plug tap for cutting 11/16-16 unified national threads in compatible metalworking, maintenance, and repair applications.

Installation Notes

Use with a properly sized tap wrench and apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread finish. Ensure the hole is drilled to the correct tap drill size for 11/16-16 threads before beginning. Back the tap out periodically to break chips and prevent binding, especially in blind holes. Machinists and maintenance trades should follow applicable shop safety practices when hand tapping.
