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

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL HT-832-B-I is an 8-32 hand bottom tap ground from high-speed steel (HSS). It is designed to cut internal threads to the bottom of a blind hole, making it the correct choice when full thread depth is required close to the base of the bore. The bottom tap style features minimal taper on the leading threads, allowing it to thread further into a hole than a taper or plug tap. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians use this tap when hand-threading ferrous and non-ferrous materials in repair, fabrication, and maintenance applications.

The HT-832-B-I is suited for use in production shops, maintenance facilities, and field service scenarios where 8-32 UNC threads are required in blind holes. The 8-32 thread size is commonly found in light mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, and instrumentation hardware. This tap is intended for hand use in a tap wrench and is not rated for power-driven operation.

Key Features

• Bottom tap geometry enables threading close to the base of blind holes
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides durability across a range of common workpiece materials
• 8-32 UNC thread form for standard unified coarse thread applications
• Designed for hand operation in a standard tap wrench
• Lightweight at 0.31 pounds for easy handling and portability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use hand tap for standard 8-32 UNC thread applications in blind-hole tapping operations.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed and operated by a qualified machinist or skilled tradesperson using a properly sized tap wrench. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before beginning the threading operation. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to reduce heat buildup and extend tap life. Follow standard threading practice by periodically reversing the tap to break chips and prevent binding.
