Regal Cutting Tools 007532AS Combination Drill Tap 3/8-16

Product Description

The REGAL CUTTING TOOLS 007532AS is a combination drill tap designed to drill and tap a hole in a single operation. It cuts a 3/8-16 UNC thread with an H3 thread limit and a right-hand thread direction. The drill diameter is 0.3225 inches, the overall length is 3.375 inches, and the thread length is 1.0625 inches. Constructed from high speed steel with a bright finish, this tool is suited for use in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where a one-step drill-and-tap process saves time and reduces tool changes. Machinists and maintenance professionals use this type of tool in manual and CNC drilling operations.

This combination drill tap is used in production machining, maintenance repair, and fabrication environments. It performs well in applications where a clean 3/8-16 UNC tapped hole is required without a separate pilot drilling step. The two-flute design handles chip evacuation in a range of materials. The bright coating indicates no additional surface treatment, which is typical for general-purpose high speed steel taps used across light industrial and machine shop settings.

Key Features

• Drills and taps in one pass, reducing setup and tool changes
• 3/8-16 UNC thread form with H3 thread limit for consistent fit
• 0.3225-inch drill diameter with right-hand flute and thread direction
• High speed steel construction for durability across common workpiece materials
• Bright finish with no coating for straightforward regrinding and inspection
• Two-flute design aids chip clearance during operation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement combination drill tap for applications requiring a 3/8-16 UNC tapped hole with an H3 thread limit in manual or CNC machining setups.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed in a drill press, CNC machining center, or hand drill by a machinist or maintenance technician using a standard chuck or collet sized for a 0.3810-inch shank diameter. Secure the workpiece firmly before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine guarding requirements during operation.
