Precision Twist Drill 1010123 Hand Tap 5/8-11 Coarse Thread

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 1010123 is a general-purpose hand tap designed for cutting internal threads in a wide range of materials. Built for manual tapping operations, it cuts a 5/8-11 coarse thread profile, meaning a 5/8-inch nominal diameter with 11 threads per inch. This tap is suited for both through-hole and blind-hole applications, giving installers and machinists flexibility across common repair and fabrication tasks. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades rely on hand taps like this when threading new holes or chasing damaged threads in metal components and fixtures.

This hand tap is appropriate for general shop and field use wherever a 5/8-11 coarse internal thread is required. It performs in through-hole configurations where the tap passes completely through the workpiece, as well as in blind-hole setups where the hole has a closed bottom. Its general-purpose designation makes it compatible with a broad range of base materials encountered in trade work, including mild steel and similar metals.

Key Features

• Cuts 5/8-11 UNC coarse internal threads for general-purpose threading applications
• Suitable for both through-hole and blind-hole tapping operations
• General-purpose design compatible with a wide variety of materials
• Lightweight at 0.2 pounds, easy to handle in tight or overhead work areas
• Sold individually, allowing single-tap procurement when only one size is needed

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand tap for any application requiring a 5/8-11 coarse internal thread; no specific equipment or model compatibility is stated by the manufacturer for this part.

Installation Notes

Hand taps are installed by qualified tradespeople using a tap wrench or T-handle wrench sized appropriately for the tap shank. Always ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and the tap is started perpendicular to the surface to avoid cross-threading. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to reduce friction and extend tap life. Back the tap out periodically to clear chips, especially in blind-hole applications, to prevent tap breakage.
