OVERVIEW

Precision Threading for Industrial Applications

The Walter 3/4-10NC Plug HSS Tap (03B122) is a premium threading tool designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial maintenance and manufacturing. Crafted from top-notch High-Speed Steel (HSS), this tap guarantees outstanding durability and resistance to heat, even when used across a wide range of tough materials. Its hardened and tempered design ensures an extended lifespan, maintaining a sharp cutting edge through repeated use in demanding environments.

Machinists and fabricators will appreciate the friction-free cutting experience provided by the precision ground threads. This manufacturing process ensures that the tap cuts cleanly with reduced torque, minimizing the risk of breakage and ensuring accurate thread tolerance. The plug style chamfer, typically featuring 3 to 5 tapered threads, makes this tool highly versatile and particularly effective for threading through holes where the chips can be pushed forward. Whether you are machining aluminum, mild steel, or stainless steel, this tap delivers consistent performance.

Reliability is critical in production and repair settings. With this premium quality HSS product, longevity is a given, reducing the frequency of tool changes and downtime. It is an essential component for any workshop focused on quality fastening solutions and efficient metalworking processes.

FAQ

A plug tap has a chamfer of 3-5 threads, making it suitable for general use and through holes. A taper tap has a longer chamfer (7-10 threads) for easier starting, while a bottoming tap has very little chamfer for blind holes.

The standard tap drill size for a 3/4"-10 NC thread is 21/32".

Yes, because it is made of High-Speed Steel (HSS), it is capable of cutting threads in stainless steel, as well as mild steel and aluminum.

Yes, using a high-quality cutting fluid or lubricant is highly recommended to reduce friction, dissipate heat, and extend the life of the tap.

It can be used for blind holes, but it will not thread all the way to the bottom. A bottoming tap would be required to finish the threads at the bottom of a blind hole.

NC stands for National Coarse, which indicates the thread pitch standard. In this case, it is 10 threads per inch.

This Walter tap is crafted from High-Speed Steel (HSS), which offers better heat resistance and durability than carbon steel.
