Regal Cutting Tools 007518AS Combination Drill Tap 10-32

Product Description

The REGAL CUTTING TOOLS 007518AS is a combination drill tap designed to drill and tap a 10-32 UNF thread in a single operation. It features a 2-flute, right-hand helical configuration ground from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The drill diameter is 0.1635 inches, the thread length is 0.625 inches, and the overall length is 2.375 inches. The H3 thread limit indicates a tight tolerance suitable for standard 10-32 UNF tapped holes. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworkers use this tool to reduce cycle time by eliminating the need for a separate drill step before tapping.

This combination drill tap is suited for light-duty production and maintenance applications where 10-32 UNF tapped holes are required in thin or moderate-thickness materials. Right-hand cutting direction and a split-point-free geometry make it straightforward to use in hand-drill or low-speed machine applications. It is packaged as a single unit, making it practical for service kits, field maintenance toolboxes, or low-volume production setups.

Key Features

• Drills and taps in one pass, eliminating a separate drilling step for 10-32 UNF holes
• H3 thread limit for consistent, standard-tolerance 10-32 UNF thread fit
• High-speed steel construction provides good wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection of cutting edge condition
• Right-hand flute and right-hand thread direction for conventional CW rotation
• Compact 2.375-inch overall length fits standard chuck clearances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct substitute for any 10-32 UNF H3 combination drill tap with a 0.1635-inch drill diameter and 2.375-inch overall length in standard drill chuck or collet toolholding systems.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and used by machinists or maintenance technicians in drill presses, CNC machines, or hand-held power drills. Secure the shank firmly in a drill chuck or collet before use and ensure the workpiece is clamped to prevent movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the tool at the first sign of chipping or dulling to avoid thread quality issues.
