Walter 1"-8 NC HSS Bottoming Tap for Blind Holes

Reliable Threading Solutions for the Professional Shop

Equip your workshop with the Walter 1-8 NC Bottoming HSS Tap, a heavy-duty threading tool designed to tackle your toughest fabrication and repair jobs. When you are dealing with blind holes where the threads need to go all the way to the bottom, a standard tap just won't cut it. That is where this bottoming tap shines. With a short chamfer length of just 1-2 threads, it allows you to thread virtually the entire depth of a drilled hole, ensuring your bolts and studs have maximum holding power.

Built by Walter, a trusted name in surface treatment and cutting tools, this tap is crafted from high-quality High-Speed Steel (HSS). This material choice makes a world of difference compared to cheaper carbon steel alternatives. It resists dulling, handles heat better, and cuts through hard metals like stainless steel without binding or chipping. Whether you are fixing a stripped thread on a piece of heavy machinery or fabricating a custom bracket in the shop, you can rely on this tool to cut clean, precise 1"-8 National Coarse (NC) threads every time.

Versatility is key for any welder or fabricator. This tap is engineered to perform across a wide range of materials commonly found in the shop, including aluminum, mild steel, and stainless steel. Its precision-ground threads reduce the effort needed to turn the tap, giving you better control and reducing hand fatigue during manual tapping operations. It is an essential addition to any machinist's or welder's tool chest, ensuring you have the right tool for critical finishing work.
