Precision Twist Drill 1012441 Tapered Tap 1700M Series

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 1012441 is a tapered hand tap from the 1700M series, designed for cutting internal threads in a wide range of materials. Tapered taps lead into the workpiece gradually, reducing the torque required to start a thread and making them well-suited for both through-hole and blind-hole applications. At 2.125 inches in length, this tap is compact enough for close-quarter work while maintaining the rigidity needed for accurate thread cutting. It is a standard hand tap used by machinists, pipefitters, and general trade professionals whenever threaded holes need to be cut or restored on the job.

The 1012441 is appropriate for use in through-hole and blind-hole threading across a broad range of base materials including metals, plastics, and composites commonly encountered in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical work. Its tapered geometry makes it the preferred starting tap when beginning a new thread in an unthreaded hole, and it can also be used for thread repair where the original thread entry has been damaged.

Key Features

• Tapered lead geometry eases thread entry and reduces starting torque
• Compatible with both through-hole and blind-hole applications
• 1700M series construction for consistent thread form and dimensional accuracy
• Compact 2.125-inch length suits a range of access conditions
• Suitable for use across a wide variety of workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hand tap suitable for threading operations across a wide variety of materials and hole types in trade and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Hand taps are installed using a standard tap wrench; power driving is not recommended without appropriate tap holders and speed control. Secure the workpiece firmly before starting the thread to prevent walking or misalignment. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to reduce friction and extend tap life. Follow applicable safety practices for cutting tool use, including eye protection.
