Norseman Drill and Tool Type 24L-AG Fractional Left Handed HSS Straight Flute Plug Hand Taps
Norseman Drill & Tool Type 24L-AG Left-Handed Plug Hand Taps
The Norseman Drill & Tool Type 24L-AG Fractional Left-Handed HSS Straight Flute Plug Hand Taps are engineered for precision, durability, and professional-grade performance in demanding threading applications. Designed for machinists, fabricators, and industrial technicians, these left-hand plug taps deliver accurate thread formation and superior control when cutting internal threads in a variety of metals.
Premium Hi-Tungsten & Hi-Molybdenum Tool Steel Construction
Type 24L-AG taps are manufactured from a proprietary blend of Hi-Tungsten and Hi-Molybdenum high-speed tool steels. This advanced alloy composition provides exceptional toughness, heat resistance, and wear life, ensuring the tap maintains sharp cutting edges even under continuous or heavy-duty use. The straight flute design promotes consistent chip flow and stable cutting performance across mild steel, alloy steel, cast iron, and other challenging materials.
Gold Surface Treatment for Maximum Lubricity
Each tap features a gold surface treated finish engineered to enhance lubricity and reduce friction during operation. This low-friction coating minimizes galling, lowers torque, and helps dissipate heat—resulting in smoother tapping, cleaner threads, and significantly extended tool life. The gold finish also allows quick visual identification, improving workflow efficiency in busy machine shops.
Left-Hand Plug Tap Design for Controlled, Accurate Threading
As a plug-style left-hand tap, the Type 24L-AG offers a more aggressive lead compared to taper taps, enabling fast and accurate thread cutting while maintaining excellent alignment. Left-hand threading is essential for applications requiring reverse rotation resistance, vibration protection, or specialized mechanical assemblies where traditional right-hand threads are unsuitable.
Ideal for automotive repair, equipment manufacturing, and precision machining, Norseman’s Type 24L-AG Left-Handed Plug Hand Taps combine premium metallurgy, superior lubricity, and unmatched American-made quality to deliver reliable performance in every cut.
