Eagle Cutting Tool DT-1032-I 10-32 Nf Hss Combo Tap Drill

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL DT-1032-I is a 10-32 NF combination tap and drill made from high-speed steel (HSS). This tool performs two operations in a single pass: it drills a pilot hole and cuts the 10-32 National Fine thread in one step, reducing setup time and the number of tool changes required. It is designed for use in metalworking and light fabrication environments where 10-32 NF threaded holes are needed in steel, aluminum, and similar materials. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general fabricators commonly use combination tap drills when tapping enclosures, panels, and mounting hardware.

The DT-1032-I is suited for shop and field applications where 10-32 NF tapped holes are required in thin to medium gauge materials. Typical use cases include threading electrical enclosures, junction boxes, sheet metal brackets, and equipment panels. The combination design is especially practical for low-volume or field tapping work where carrying a separate drill bit and tap is inconvenient. It is intended for use in a drill press or hand drill at appropriate speeds for the material being tapped.

Key Features

• Combination drill-and-tap design completes pilot drilling and thread cutting in one pass
• 10-32 National Fine (NF) thread specification
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability in metal tapping applications
• Reduces tool changes and setup time compared to separate drill and tap operations
• Minimum order quantity of 1 unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for applications requiring 10-32 NF threaded holes in metal substrates.

Installation Notes

This tool is typically used by electricians, HVAC technicians, machinists, and fabricators. Secure the workpiece before drilling and use cutting fluid when tapping steel to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Use appropriate drill press or hand drill speeds for the material; excessive speed can break the tap portion. Inspect the cutting edges before use and replace the tool if chipping or wear is visible.
