Precision Twist Drill 1010680 Plug Tap 6-32 Unc

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 1010680 is a 1528 series plug tap designed for cutting internal threads in machine screw size 6-32 UNC applications. This hand tap features a plug chamfer, which positions it as the most commonly used tap style for general threading work in through holes and blind holes alike. At 0.05 pounds, it is a lightweight precision tool suited for bench work, field repair, and production environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and pipefitters reach for this tap when threading fastener holes in a wide range of base materials.

The 1010680 is built for versatility across material types, making it appropriate for threading operations in metals, plastics, and composites commonly encountered in industrial and mechanical maintenance settings. Its plug chamfer design provides a balance between the starting ease of a taper tap and the thread depth of a bottoming tap, which makes it the right choice for most standard through-hole and blind-hole threading jobs where full thread engagement is required near but not at the very bottom of the hole.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread specification for machine screw sizing
• Plug chamfer style suitable for through holes and blind holes

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Hand taps should be installed by a machinist or qualified maintenance technician using an appropriate tap wrench sized for the tap shank. Always ensure the workpiece is securely clamped and the pilot hole is drilled to the correct tap drill diameter before threading begins. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tap life and reduce the risk of breakage. Back the tap out periodically to clear chips, particularly in blind hole applications.
