Eagle Cutting Tool HT-836-P-D Hss Hand Plug Tap 8-36

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL HT-836-P-D is a high-speed steel (HSS) hand plug tap ground to cut 8-36 threads. Plug taps are chamfered on the first 3 to 5 threads, making them the standard starting tap for threading through holes and most blind hole applications. This tap is designed for hand tapping operations where a tap wrench is used to drive the tool through ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. At 0.08 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece cutting tool suited for use in machine shops, maintenance environments, and field repair work by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians.

This tap is used to cut internal 8-36 threads in metal, plastic, and composite materials. The 8-36 designation indicates a No. 8 screw size with 36 threads per inch, a fine-pitch thread commonly found in precision instruments, electronics enclosures, and light mechanical assemblies. It is appropriate for hand tapping in production and repair settings where accurate thread form and controlled cutting are required. USA manufacture indicates domestic production standards for thread form accuracy.

Key Features

• HSS construction provides hardness and wear resistance for cutting threads in a range of metals
• Plug chamfer (3 to 5 thread lead) suits both through-hole and most blind-hole applications
• 8-36 thread form for fine-pitch internal threading in No. 8 fastener applications
• Designed for hand tapping with a standard tap wrench
• USA manufactured to standard thread form tolerances

Compatibility

Designed for hand tapping applications requiring an 8-36 internal thread form. Compatible with standard tap wrenches sized for hand taps in this thread range.

Installation Notes

Hand taps should be installed using a properly sized tap wrench to maintain alignment and control cutting torque. Secure the workpiece firmly before beginning; misalignment during tapping is a leading cause of tap breakage. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Follow standard shop safety practices and wear eye protection when tapping.
