Osg 87703 Tap Extractor Drill 1/8 Inch Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 87703 is a solid carbide tap extractor drill designed to remove broken taps from workpieces without damaging the surrounding material or the tapped hole. At 1/8 inch in drill diameter with a 19/32 inch flute length and an overall length of approximately 2.1 inches, this tool is built for precision work in tight spaces. Solid carbide construction delivers the hardness and rigidity needed to bite into hardened tap material, making it the right choice for machinists and maintenance technicians who regularly deal with broken tap removal in production or repair environments.

This tap extractor drill fits applications where a broken tap must be extracted from a drilled and tapped hole in metal components. The compact 1/8 inch diameter makes it suited for smaller threaded fastener work, such as removing broken taps in fine-thread holes commonly found in precision machined parts, fixtures, and assemblies. It is typically used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and toolroom environments where broken tap extraction is a routine service task. The short overall length and solid carbide body allow it to be used in drill presses or CNC setups where control and rigidity are critical.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for maximum hardness and resistance when drilling into broken tap material
• 1/8 inch drill diameter designed for fine-thread and small-diameter tap extraction
• 19/32 inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance in shallow to moderate depth holes
• Overall length of approximately 2.1 inches suits use in standard drill chucks and CNC tool holders
• OSG Series 5172 tap extractor drill for consistent performance in production and repair applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement tap extractor drill suitable for use with standard drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand drill setups that accept 1/8 inch shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Tap extractor drills should be installed and operated by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians familiar with carbide tooling requirements. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing or securing tooling in the chuck or collet. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce heat buildup and extend tool life. Carbide tooling is brittle and should not be subjected to side loads or impacts during use.
