Eagle Cutting Tool SP-1024-P-I Hss Spiral Point Plug Tap 10-24

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL SP-1024-P-I is a 10-24 high-speed steel (HSS) spiral point plug tap designed for threading through-holes in metal and similar materials. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting action, reducing clogging and allowing cleaner thread formation at production speeds. This tap carries a plug chamfer, meaning the first few threads are tapered to ease starting while still engaging material quickly. It is a standard tool for machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and plumbers who need reliable 10-24 internal threads.

The SP-1024-P-I is suited for through-hole tapping operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals including mild steel, aluminum, and brass. The 10-24 unified coarse (UNC) thread profile is one of the most common machine screw sizes found in electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixtures, and general mechanical assemblies. This tap is appropriate for both hand tapping and machine tapping with a tap wrench, drill press, or tapping arm.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread profile for high-frequency machine screw applications
• HSS construction provides hardness and wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials
• Spiral point geometry pushes chips forward for cleaner cuts in through-hole applications
• Plug chamfer eases thread starting without sacrificing thread engagement depth
• Minimum order quantity of 1 — can be purchased as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed for cutting 10-24 UNC internal threads in through-hole applications across general metalworking, maintenance, and trade service work.

Installation Notes

Tapping should be performed by a qualified machinist or tradesperson familiar with thread-cutting procedures. Use cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Secure the workpiece firmly before starting and align the tap perpendicular to the work surface to avoid cross-threading or tap breakage. Back the tap out periodically to clear chips when tapping manually.
