Eagle Cutting Tool DT-2500-20-I 1/4-20 Nc Hss Combo Tap Drill

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL DT-2500-20-I is a combination tap and drill tool designed for 1/4-20 NC (National Coarse) threading operations. It combines the drilling and tapping steps into a single pass, reducing setup time and tool changes on the job. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), it offers the hardness and heat resistance needed for cutting threads in mild steel, aluminum, and similar materials. Licensed tradespeople and machining professionals use this type of combo tool when efficiency and consistent thread quality matter in production or repair work.

This combo tap drill is suited for threading 1/4-20 NC holes in light industrial, mechanical, and trade applications. It is commonly used in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work where field tapping of sheet metal brackets, equipment frames, and mounting hardware is required. The single-tool operation is well suited for portable drill use on the job site or at a bench in a shop environment.
