Made from high-speed steel (HSS), this tool is sized for the 12-28 NF (National Fine) thread specification, making it well suited for applications that require fine-thread fastening in metal workpieces. The combination design reduces setup time and eliminates the need to change tools between drilling and tapping steps. It is a practical choice for machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working in fabrication, mechanical assembly, or field repair applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis combination tap drill is used in applications where 12-28 NF threaded holes are needed in ferrous metals, aluminum, and similar machinable materials. It is commonly used in mechanical and electrical trades for panel work, equipment enclosures, and structural fastening where fine-thread engagement is required. The import designation indicates this is a cost-effective sourced version of the standard combination tap drill format, suitable for general-purpose professional use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCombines drilling and tapping into a single operation for faster workflow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel (HSS) construction provides durability across common shop and field materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSized for 12-28 NF thread specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces tool changes and setup time during tapping operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimum order quantity of 1 unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard combination tap drill for use in any drill press, tapping machine, or hand drill setup configured for 12-28 NF thread cutting in machinable metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tool is typically used by machinists and mechanical technicians in shop or field environments. Secure the workpiece firmly before operation and use appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Operate at recommended HSS cutting speeds for the material being tapped. Inspect the tool for wear or damage before each use to avoid broken taps in the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12-28 NF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.715 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: EAGLE CUTTING TOOL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: DT-1228-I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EAGLE CUTTING TOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233707393330,"sku":"DT-1228-I","price":26.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307622494.png?v=1780107270","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/eagle-cutting-tool-dt-1228-i-12-28-nf-hss-combo-tap-drill","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
