Precision Twist Drill 1010320 Plug Tap 1585 Series

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 1010320 is a plug-chamfer machine tap from the 1585 series, designed for creating internal threads in through-hole applications. It features a spiral point geometry that pushes chips forward ahead of the tap, keeping flutes clear during cutting. The plug chamfer lead allows for controlled thread starting and is suited for use in a wide range of materials. With a depth of cut reaching 2.5 inches, this tap handles deeper threading jobs that shorter lead taps cannot reach. It is a relieved-style tap, reducing friction and wear during machine tapping operations.

This tap is intended for machine tapping operations in production and shop environments. The spiral point design makes it well suited for through-hole threading in metal fabrication, maintenance, and manufacturing applications. Machinists and tool and die professionals working with CNC machines, drill presses, or tapping heads will find this tap appropriate for moderate to deep threading tasks where chip control is critical to thread quality.

Key Features

• Plug chamfer lead for controlled thread starting in through-hole applications
• Spiral point geometry drives chips forward, reducing chip packing and tap breakage
• Relieved style construction reduces friction contact along the tap body
• 2.5 inches depth of cut accommodates deeper through-hole threading requirements
• Part of the 1585 series, a standardized tap line for consistent performance across production runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and production tap suitable for standard machine tapping setups using spiral point plug taps in through-hole applications.

Installation Notes

Machine taps of this type are installed by machinists or toolmakers using a tapping head, CNC machining center, or drill press equipped with a tapping attachment. Always ensure the tap is properly aligned with the drilled hole before engaging the spindle to prevent tap breakage. Use the recommended cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tap life and maintain thread quality. Secure the workpiece firmly before beginning the tapping operation.
