Osg 87705 Tap Extractor Drill 13/64 Inch Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 87705 is a solid carbide tap extractor drill designed to remove broken taps from workpieces without damaging the surrounding material. It features a 13/64-inch drill diameter and a 63/64-inch flute length, with an overall length of 1-31/32 inches. Solid carbide construction provides superior hardness and heat resistance compared to high-speed steel, making it well suited for precision extraction work in hardened or difficult-to-machine materials. This drill is part of the OSG Series 5172 line and is sold individually as a single-unit replacement tool.

Tap extractor drills like the OSG 87705 are used in machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance environments where broken or seized taps must be removed cleanly. This tool is appropriate for use on manual drill presses, CNC machining centers, and bridgeport-style mills. It is most commonly used by machinists and tooling technicians performing corrective operations on threaded holes in metal workpieces.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement tap extractor drill for use in machining and toolroom applications requiring a 13/64-inch extraction drill in the OSG Series 5172 format.

Installation Notes

Tap extractor drills are installed and operated by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Secure the workpiece firmly before beginning the extraction process and ensure the spindle speed is appropriate for carbide tooling in the material being worked. Do not exceed the recommended feed rate for carbide drills, as carbide is brittle and susceptible to fracture under side-loading or impact. Power down and lock out the machine before changing or inspecting the drill.
