Frequently Asked Questions
What is a WESTWARD Alloy Steel Plug Tap used for?
A WESTWARD Alloy Steel Plug Tap is used to cut internal threads in pre-drilled holes, typically in metalworking and maintenance applications. The plug tap design has a shorter chamfer than a taper tap, making it suitable for threading through holes or near the bottom of blind holes. It is commonly used in industrial repair and fabrication.
What are the specifications of the WESTWARD CCT1060-7P plug tap?
The WESTWARD CCT1060-7P is a 1/2-13 UNC alloy steel plug tap. It is designed for cutting Unified National Coarse threads in steel and other materials. The tap is made from alloy steel for durability in manual or machine threading operations. Always match the tap to the material and hole size for proper thread formation.

Ensure the tap material suits the workpiece: alloy steel taps work for steel and cast iron. Always use cutting fluid and proper alignment to avoid breakage.
