Eagle Cutting Tool HT-6875-16-T-I Hss Hand Taper Tap 11/16-16

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL HT-6875-16-T-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) hand taper tap designed for cutting internal threads in metal workpieces. It is sized for 11/16-16 Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form, making it suitable for threading operations where a coarser pitch is required in that diameter range. The taper lead eases the tap into the workpiece gradually, reducing the force needed to start and maintain thread engagement. It is used primarily by machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working with hand tapping equipment in shop or field environments.

This tap is suited for manual hand tapping in ferrous and non-ferrous metals across a range of applications including repair work, fabrication, and production threading. The 11/16-16 thread size is commonly encountered in mechanical assemblies, fastener repair, and custom fabrication projects. It is appropriate for use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial settings where hand tapping is the preferred or required method.

Key Features

• HSS construction provides hardness and wear resistance for threading steel, aluminum, and similar metals
• Taper lead design starts threads gradually, reducing torque and the risk of tap breakage
• 11/16-16 UNC thread size for coarse-pitch threading at this diameter
• Lightweight at 0.31 pounds, suited for hand tool use
• Minimum order quantity of 1, available as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hand tap for use with standard tap wrenches and holders accepting taps in the 11/16-16 UNC thread specification.

Installation Notes

Hand taper taps are installed by machinists and maintenance technicians using a properly sized tap wrench. Always secure the workpiece and ensure the tap is started square to the hole to prevent breakage or cross-threading. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and wear appropriate eye protection when tapping.
