Century Drill Tool 97516 10.0x1.25 Tap Drill Bit Combo 11/32

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 97516 is a metric plug-style tap and drill bit combo pack designed for hand cutting threaded holes in metal and other materials. The set pairs a 10.0x1.25 metric plug tap with an 11/32 inch drill bit, giving technicians and tradespeople both tools needed to complete a full tap operation in one package. Threads are precision cut and accurately formed for consistent, exact threading results. The tap is heat treated and tempered to file-hard hardness, extending service life and maintaining thread quality over repeated use.

This combo pack is suited for maintenance, repair, and fabrication applications where metric M10x1.25 threads are required. The plug-style tap is appropriate for through-holes and semi-blind holes in typical hand-tapping scenarios. It is a common choice for HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades when field repairs require creating new threaded connections in brackets, housings, or structural components. The 11/32 inch drill bit is sized correctly as the tap drill for the 10.0x1.25 thread specification, eliminating the need to cross-reference charts on the job.

Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the material being threaded to reduce friction and extend tool life. Do not exceed the tool rating by using this tap in power-driven tapping equipment unless confirmed appropriate for the application.
