Eagle Cutting Tool HT-832-B-D 8-32 Hss Hand Bottom Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL HT-832-B-D is an 8-32 hand bottom tap ground from high-speed steel (HSS) and manufactured in the USA. A bottom tap is designed to cut threads to the very bottom of a blind hole, making it the correct choice when full thread engagement is required in a stopped bore. This tap is used by hand with a tap wrench or T-handle, not in a machine. It suits machinists, maintenance technicians, electricians, and HVAC or plumbing mechanics threading 8-32 machine screw holes in metal components, enclosures, brackets, and fittings.

The HT-832-B-D is suited for 8-32 Unified National Coarse (UNC) threading applications in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Typical use cases include threading blind holes in electrical enclosures, equipment frames, HVAC sheet metal components, and plumbing hardware where a plug or taper tap cannot reach the full thread depth. The HSS construction allows it to cut steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials encountered in general trade and maintenance work.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

A licensed or qualified tradesperson should select the correct tap drill size for 8-32 threads before use. Always secure the workpiece and use cutting fluid to extend tap life and reduce breakage risk. Back the tap out periodically to clear chips, especially in blind holes. Replace broken taps carefully to avoid damaging the workpiece or surrounding material.
