Eagle Cutting Tool HT-7500-16-P-D 3/4-16 Hss Hand Plug Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL HT-7500-16-P-D is a 3/4-16 high-speed steel (HSS) hand plug tap manufactured in the USA. This tap is designed to cut internal threads by hand in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The plug chamfer — typically 3 to 5 threads — allows the tap to start easily in through-holes and blind holes where thread engagement depth is not critical. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians reach for this tap when threading steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials in both shop and field environments.

This tap is suited for general-purpose hand threading operations in manufacturing, maintenance, and repair applications. The 3/4-16 designation indicates a 3/4-inch major diameter with a 16 threads-per-inch (TPI) pitch, a fine-thread series commonly used in fastener and mechanical assembly work where greater thread engagement strength is required compared to coarse-thread equivalents.

Key Features

• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and heat resistance for threading steel and other metals
• Plug chamfer style starts easily in through-holes and most blind-hole applications
• 3/4-16 fine-thread profile delivers higher thread engagement strength than coarse-thread equivalents
• USA manufactured for dimensional accuracy and consistent thread form
• Minimum order quantity of 1 — available as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/4-16 UNF hand plug tap suitable for use with compatible tap wrenches and T-handle drivers sized for 3/4-inch shank taps.

Installation Notes

Hand taps should be installed by a qualified machinist or tradesperson using a proper tap wrench sized for the shank. Always secure the workpiece firmly before tapping, use cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material, and back the tap off a half turn periodically to break the chip and prevent binding. Never force a tap that has stopped turning — back it out, clear chips, and re-enter to avoid breakage.
