Metallics 1024CTTE – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the Metallics 1024CTTE tap cut?
The Metallics 1024CTTE is a 10-24 tap, so it cuts a #10 machine screw thread at 24 threads per inch. That is the common thread for 10-24 machine screws used on electrical boxes, covers, and strut fittings.
2) Is the 1024CTTE a taper tap or a bottoming tap?
It is a taper type tap. The lead is chamfered over several threads, which makes it the one to start a hole with, especially a through hole in sheet metal or a box ear. If you need full threads to the bottom of a blind hole, a taper tap alone will not get you there.
3) What is the 1024CTTE tap made of, and will it cut steel boxes and strut?
Carbon steel. It will cut mild steel, aluminum, and sheet metal enclosures at hand-tapping speeds in a T-handle or tap wrench. For hardened or stainless work, carbon steel is not the right tool.
4) How many taps come in a pack of Metallics 1024CTTE?
One tap per pack, supplied in a pouch. If you are kitting out several electricians or expect to snap one on a job, order the quantity you need up front rather than assuming a multi-pack.
5) What part number do I order for a Metallics 10-24 taper tap?
Order Metallics 1024CTTE. That manufacturer part number covers the carbon steel 10-24 taper tap sold one per pouch.
6) Can I use the 1024CTTE to clean out stripped or painted 10-24 holes in an electrical box?
Yes, chasing damaged or paint-filled 10-24 holes is exactly what a taper tap is good for. Run it in by hand, back it off a half turn every turn or so to break the chip, and the hole takes a 10-24 machine screw again. Just keep in mind it recuts threads rather than repairing a hole that is already oversized.
