Product details
Eagle Cutting Tool HT-1024-B-I HSS Hand Bottom Tap 10-24.
Product Description
The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL HT-1024-B-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) hand bottom tap ground to cut 10-24 unified coarse threads. Bottom taps feature minimal lead chamfer, allowing threads to be cut to the very bottom of a blind hole — a requirement common in close-tolerance fastener work across mechanical, plumbing, and electrical enclosure fabrication. The tap is sized for the 10-24 thread form, which specifies a No. 10 major diameter with 24 threads per inch. It is sold as an import-grade tool suited for general trade and maintenance use.
This tap is used in any application requiring fully threaded blind holes where a plug or taper tap cannot reach the required thread depth. Typical scenarios include threading bosses in sheet metal enclosures, cast brackets, and similar assemblies encountered in HVAC, electrical panel, and light fabrication work. It is operated by hand with a standard tap wrench. This tool is appropriate for use in steel, aluminum, and other common trade materials at the 10-24 thread size.
Key Features
- Bottom tap geometry cuts threads to the bottom of blind holes with minimal unthreaded runout
- High-speed steel construction provides wear resistance for repeated use in common trade materials
- 10-24 thread form — No. 10 major diameter, 24 threads per inch unified coarse pitch
- Hand-drive tool compatible with standard tap wrenches
- Import-grade construction suited for general maintenance and production use
Compatibility
Designed as a general-purpose hand bottom tap for 10-24 threaded holes in trade and maintenance applications. No specific system or equipment compatibility was provided for this part.
Installation Notes
This tap is installed by hand using a tap wrench — power driving is not recommended for bottom taps in blind holes due to breakage risk. Always clear chips frequently by reversing the tap a half-turn for every full turn of advance, particularly in blind holes. Ensure the workpiece is properly secured and the tap is started perpendicular to the hole to avoid thread misalignment or tap breakage. Follow applicable shop safety practices when working with cutting tools.
