Eagle Cutting Tool SP-544-P-I 5-44 Hss Spiral Point Plug Tap

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL SP-544-P-I is a 5-44 high-speed steel (HSS) spiral point plug tap designed for threading operations in metalworking and machining applications. The spiral point geometry drives chips forward ahead of the cutting flutes, allowing continuous feed through holes without chip packing. Built to 5-44 thread specifications, this tap suits fine-thread work where precise thread formation and clean cutting action are required. It is supplied as an import-grade tool, offering a cost-effective option for production and maintenance threading tasks.

This tap is suited for use in through-hole threading applications on metals and other machinable materials. The 5-44 thread size falls in the miniature fastener range, making this tool relevant for instrument assembly, electronics hardware, and precision mechanical work. It is appropriate for use in drill presses, CNC tapping operations, and hand-tapping setups where a plug chamfer lead is specified.

Key Features

• Spiral point design advances chips forward, reducing chip clogging in through-hole applications
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides durability across a range of workpiece materials
• 5-44 thread specification targets fine-thread miniature fastener applications
• Plug chamfer lead offers a balance between starting ease and thread engagement length
• Import-grade tool provides a cost-effective option for standard threading tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or production tap for 5-44 thread applications in through-hole tapping setups using compatible tap holders and tapping heads.

Installation Notes

This tap should be installed by machinists or maintenance professionals familiar with threading operations and proper tap holder selection. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the correct tap drill size for a 5-44 thread is used prior to tapping. Apply appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Never force a tap against resistance; back off periodically to clear chips and reduce the risk of breakage.
