Osg 87782 Tap Extractor Drill 15/32 Inch Solid Carbide

Product Description

The OSG 87782 is a solid carbide tap extractor drill designed to remove broken taps from workpieces without damaging the surrounding material or threads. Ground to a 15/32 inch diameter with a 2-23/64 inch flute length and an overall length of 4-11/32 inches, this drill delivers the rigidity and cutting precision that tap extraction demands. Solid carbide construction provides the hardness and wear resistance needed to work against hardened tap material. This tool belongs to OSG Series 5172 and is sold individually.

Tap extractor drills are used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where broken taps are a recurring problem. The 87782 is suited for metalworking applications where a standard HSS drill would deflect or fail against hardened tap material. It is typically run on a milling machine, drill press, or CNC machining center at controlled speeds with proper coolant to avoid thermal damage to the carbide. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians are the primary installers of this type of drill.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for hardness and extended tool life in demanding extraction work
• 15/32 inch drill diameter for precise sizing in tap extraction operations
• 2-23/64 inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance during drilling
• 4-11/32 inch overall length suits standard spindle setups
• OSG Series 5172 design optimized for tap extraction applications

Compatibility

Designed as a tap extractor drill for use in metalworking operations where broken taps require removal; compatible with standard drill press, milling machine, or CNC spindle setups accepting round-shank tooling at 15/32 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this tool should be performed by a qualified machinist or tool-and-die technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before securing the drill in the chuck or collet. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant throughout the operation to protect the carbide cutting edges. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines for feed rate and spindle speed to avoid chipping or fracturing the carbide.
