Century Drill Tool 97417 10.0x1.50 Metric Tap Drill Bit Set

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 97417 is a metric plug-style tap and letter drill bit Q combo pack designed for hand cutting thread applications in metal and other materials. The set includes a 10.0x1.50 metric tap and a Q-size drill bit, providing the correct pairing for cutting clean, accurate metric threads. Both tools are heat treated and tempered to file-hard hardness, giving them extended service life under repeated use. This combo is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and skilled tradespeople who need reliable thread-cutting tooling on the job or at the bench.

This 2-piece set is used in hand tapping applications where a 10.0 mm diameter, 1.50 mm pitch metric thread is required. The plug-style tap is the standard choice for through-holes and most general threading work. The included Q drill bit is sized to produce the correct tap drill diameter before threading. It fits common maintenance, repair, and fabrication scenarios across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical work.

Installation Notes

Tap and drill bit sets of this type are used by machinists, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians for field and shop thread repair or fabrication. Always drill the correct tap drill size before tapping, and use appropriate cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend tool life. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling or tapping to prevent movement that can break the tap. Follow applicable safety standards for rotating tool use and eye protection.
