Precision Twist Drill 1010167 Tapered Tap 1500 Series

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 1010167 is a tapered hand tap from the 1500 series, designed for threading holes in a wide variety of materials. The tapered chamfer geometry guides the tap into the cut progressively, reducing the torque required to start the thread and helping produce clean, accurate threads. With a cutting depth of 1.5 inches and an overall length of 5.125 inches, this tap is suited for threading tasks in both through-hole and blind-hole configurations. It is sold individually and weighs 0.6 pounds.

This tap is intended for hand-tapping applications across metalworking, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical trades where threaded holes must be cut or re-chased in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The tapered lead makes it the standard choice for starting a thread from scratch in a drilled hole, working well in materials ranging from mild steel and aluminum to brass and similar alloys. Technicians and mechanics reaching for a reliable general-purpose tap will find this a straightforward fit for bench work and field repair tasks.

Key Features

• Tapered chamfer provides progressive thread engagement for easier starting in through or blind holes
• 1.5 inches depth of cutting accommodates common threading depths in typical trade applications
• 5.125 inches overall length allows adequate wrench clearance and tool control
• 1500 series construction for general-purpose hand tapping across a range of materials
• Sold individually — unit of measure is each

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose tapered hand tap suitable for through-hole and blind-hole threading applications across a wide variety of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Installation Notes

This tap is installed by hand using a standard tap wrench; power driving is not recommended for hand taps of this type. Before tapping, confirm the pilot hole diameter matches the required tap drill size for the thread specification. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid to reduce friction and extend tool life. Always back the tap out periodically to break chips, especially in blind-hole applications, to prevent tap breakage.
