Precision Twist Drill 1010342 Plug Tap 1585 Series

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 1010342 is a spiral point plug tap from the 1585 series, designed for machine tapping operations in production and job-shop environments. The plug chamfer entry angle makes thread starting straightforward in through-hole applications, while the spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the tap to reduce clogging and improve thread quality. At 2.5 inches depth of cut, it handles typical through-hole tapping depths encountered in metalworking and fabrication. The relieved-body construction reduces friction along the thread length, extending tool life in repetitive tapping cycles. Licensed machinists and maintenance mechanics are the primary users of this tap.

This tap is suited for machine tapping in drill press, CNC machining center, and tapping arm setups across light manufacturing, maintenance, repair, and fabrication applications. The plug chamfer style works best in through-hole or sufficiently deep blind-hole configurations where the lead threads have room to engage before the full thread form is cut. It is sold individually and fits standard tap holders compatible with the shank size of the 1585 series.

Key Features

• Spiral point geometry pushes chips forward, reducing chip packing in through-hole tapping
• Plug chamfer entry provides controlled thread lead-in for machine tapping
• Relieved-body style reduces contact friction along the tap body
• 2.5 inch depth of cut accommodates standard through-hole tapping depths
• 1585 series construction intended for production machine tapping environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use machine tap compatible with standard tap holders and tapping arms sized for the 1585 series shank specifications.

Installation Notes

Machine taps should be installed by qualified machinists or maintenance professionals familiar with tapping speeds, feeds, and proper tap holder alignment. Ensure the spindle or tapping arm is properly aligned to the pilot hole before engagement to avoid tap breakage. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread finish. Inspect the tap for wear or damage before each use and replace if chipping or dullness is observed.
