Precision Twist Drill 1010006 Plug Tap 1/4-20 2.5 in

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 1010006 is a 1500 Series plug tap designed for cutting internal threads in a wide range of materials. With a 1/4-20 UNC thread form and an overall length of 2.5 inches, this hand tap produces clean, accurate threads in both through-hole and blind-hole applications. It is sized for common 1/4-20 coarse-thread fastener work encountered in mechanical assembly, maintenance, and repair across industrial and trade environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and skilled tradespeople reach for this tap when chasing damaged threads or cutting new ones by hand.

The 1010006 plug tap suits through-hole and blind-hole tapping jobs where a starting chamfer of moderate length is appropriate. The plug style sits between a taper tap and a bottoming tap, making it the most versatile choice for general-purpose thread-cutting in metals, plastics, and composite materials. It is well suited to bench work and hand-tapping operations in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and field service environments.

Installation Notes

Hand tapping should be performed by a qualified technician using a properly sized tap wrench and appropriate cutting fluid for the base material. Ensure the tap is started square to the workpiece to prevent cross-threading or tap breakage. Back the tap off periodically to break chips, especially in blind-hole applications. Follow applicable workplace safety practices when working with cutting tools.
