Drill America 1-1/4-8 UNS High Speed Steel Taper Tap - Single Piece

About This Product

Machinists and metalworkers, this Drill America taper tap is built for serious threading work. The 1-1/4-8 UNS size is perfect for larger diameter threading projects, and the high-speed steel construction can handle tough materials without dulling quickly.\n\nThe taper design is ideal for starting threads square with your workpiece - it gradually cuts the full thread profile, which makes alignment easier and reduces the risk of cross-threading. Much more forgiving than plug or bottoming taps when you're starting out.\n\nThis is a single tap (not a set), so it's perfect when you specifically need the taper style for through-holes or when you want to start threads accurately before finishing with other tap types.\n\nThe quality is pure Drill America - clean, sharp cutting edges and proper heat treatment that maintains hardness through repeated use. The square drive end works with standard tap handles or machine tapping equipment.\n\nWhether you're working in a professional shop or serious home garage, this tap delivers precise threads and long-lasting performance. The 1-1/4 inch diameter is substantial enough for heavy-duty applications but still manageable for manual tapping with the right setup.
