M10x1.5mm HMT VersaDrive Heavy Duty Drill Tap. VersaDrive® Heavy Duty Drill Taps are an industrial metalwork or fabrication tool for drilling and tapping heavy steel in one easy operation. Primarily they are designed to be used with a reversible Magnet Drill, although they can also be adapted for use with an impact wrench to enlarge and tap existing holes. With a drill point optimised for use in fixed drilling machines like Magnetic Drills or Pillar drills, these are not recommended for use in a pistol drill.
Where they are to be used with an impact wrench to enlarge and tap holes pilot drilling is recommended with a separate drill bit. Impact Chipbreaker action for effective swarf evacuation. Heavy duty straight flute design creates a strong and durable tool. Ground flute twist drill creates the correct pilot hole size. Rated for heavy duty plate thicknesses. Industrial grade Titanium Nitride coating reduces heat buildup and burn-out. Use on Impact to prevent dangerous kickback caused by handheld rotary tools. Heavy-duty hex shank design for secure non-slip operation.Impact-rated due to dual hardening process - allows up to 15X faster speed than traditional methods. Correct RPM is critical for good performance on larger drill taps. Ideal for use in Pillar Drills and Magnet Drills.
For impact wrench use, pilot drilling the hole with a separate drill bit is necessary. Use appropriate lubrication and correct RPM to achieve long tool life.
