Precision Twist Drill 1010725 Tapered Tap 1528 Series

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 1010725 is a tapered hand tap from the 1528 series, designed for cutting internal threads in machine screw sizes. Tapered taps feature a gradual lead that distributes cutting load across several threads, making thread starting easier and more controlled. Weighing 0.05 pounds, this tap is a compact, hand-driven tool suited for machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general trade professionals who need reliable threaded connections in metal, plastic, and other common shop materials.

This tap is appropriate for both through-hole and blind-hole threading applications across a wide variety of materials. Through-hole applications allow full chip evacuation, while blind-hole use requires careful attention to tap depth to avoid bottoming out. The 1528 series covers machine screw sizes, making this tap a practical addition to any service van or shop toolbox where field threading or repair work is common.

Installation Notes

Hand taps should be installed using an appropriate tap wrench sized to the tap shank. Secure the workpiece before tapping and apply cutting fluid appropriate to the material being threaded to extend tap life and improve thread quality. For blind holes, clear chips frequently by backing the tap out to prevent binding or breakage. Always follow applicable shop safety practices when using cutting tools.
