Precision Twist Drill 1010765 Tapered Tap 1528 Series

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 1010765 is a tapered hand tap in the 1528 series, designed for threading machine screw sizes in a range of materials. A tapered tap features a gradual lead-in angle that makes it the standard starting point for hand-tapping operations, distributing cutting forces progressively as the tap advances into the workpiece. This tap is suited for both through-hole and blind-hole applications, giving technicians and machinists a single tool that handles a broad set of threading jobs without requiring multiple tap styles. Sold individually, it is a practical addition to any field or shop threading kit.

This hand tap is appropriate for use across a wide variety of materials, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals commonly encountered in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service work. Its tapered lead geometry makes it particularly effective when starting a new thread from an unthreaded hole, and it can also be used to clean or chase lightly damaged threads in through-hole configurations.

Key Features

• Tapered lead design for progressive thread engagement in new holes
• Compatible with both through-hole and blind-hole applications
• Sized for machine screw thread profiles
• 1528 series construction from PRECISION TWIST DRILL
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds, easy to carry in a service kit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hand tap for machine screw thread sizes, suitable for general threading applications across a wide variety of workpiece materials in through-hole and blind-hole configurations.

Installation Notes

Hand taps should be installed by a qualified technician familiar with threading operations. Always ensure the workpiece is properly secured before tapping, and use an appropriate cutting fluid to reduce friction and extend tap life. Apply steady, even pressure with a tap wrench and back off periodically to break chips, especially in blind-hole applications. Follow applicable safety and trade standards for the specific installation environment.
