Eagle Cutting Tool HT-836-B-I Hss Hand Bottom Tap 8-36

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL HT-836-B-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) hand bottom tap ground to an 8-36 thread specification. Bottom taps are designed to cut threads as close to the bottom of a blind hole as possible, making them the correct choice when a through-tap or plug tap cannot reach the required thread depth. This tap is driven manually using a tap wrench and is suited for threading work in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments where precise internal threads are required in small-diameter fastener applications.

This tap is used in applications where an 8-36 thread form is needed in a blind hole and full thread depth to the bottom of the bore is required. The 8-36 designation indicates a number 8 screw diameter with 36 threads per inch, a fine-pitch thread commonly found in instrument work, electronics enclosures, and light mechanical assemblies. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool and die workers are the primary installers of this product.

Key Features

• HSS construction provides hardness and wear resistance suitable for threading steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials
• Bottom tap geometry allows threading to the full depth of blind holes
• 8-36 thread form suits fine-pitch applications in small-diameter work
• Designed for hand use with a standard tap wrench
• Import-grade tooling suitable for general maintenance and production use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hand bottom tap for use in any application requiring an 8-36 internal thread form, compatible with standard tap wrenches and T-handle drivers sized for small taps.

Installation Notes

This tap is intended for use by machinists or trained technicians familiar with hand-tapping procedures. Before tapping, drill the correct tap drill size for an 8-36 thread and secure the workpiece firmly. Use cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to reduce friction and extend tap life. Reverse the tap periodically to break chips and avoid tap breakage, particularly in blind holes.
