Usage
The universal combined tap with 1/4" shank and M10 thread is designed for cutting threads in through holes using electric drills, reversible hand drills, or pillar drills. Suitable for use on steel, non-ferrous metals, and plastics.
Advantages
- Hexagonal 1/4" shank enables quick tool changes with standard drill chucks and drive adapters.
- Compatible with both corded and cordless drills as well as manual tapping tools.
- Capable of machining materials up to 600 N/mm² tensile strength.
- Ideal for assembly work and small series production tasks.
- Taps only through holes up to a maximum thread depth equal to the nominal diameter (1 x D).
Specifications
- Design: Combined tap, hexagonal shank (1/4"), compatible with standard quick-change systems; M10 thread diameter; total length: 59 mm.
- Material: High-speed steel (HSS) construction ensures reliable performance across a range of common workshop materials.[3]
- Suits machining of steels, non-ferrous metals, and plastics with tensile strengths up to 600 N/mm².[1]
- Differentiating feature: Allows direct tapping in power tools without pre-drilling or tool change. Designed specifically for creating threads in through holes rather than blind holes.[1]
How it works
The tool is installed into a drill or reversible hand driver with a standard hex adapter. It performs tapping by cutting internal threads as the user applies steady pressure while maintaining alignment between the tap axis and the hole. Use appropriate cutting oil for best results.[1]
