Value Collection 00382366 M5x0.8 Combo Drill Tap Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 00382366 is a combination drill tap designed to drill and tap a hole in a single operation, eliminating the need for separate drilling and tapping steps. Built from high-speed steel (HSS), this tool handles M5x0.8 metric coarse threads with a D4 thread limit. The drill diameter measures 0.1654 inches (4.20 mm), the thread length is 0.625 inches, and the overall length (OAL) is 2.375 inches. It is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who need efficient, accurate threaded-hole creation in metal and similar materials.

This combination drill tap is used in applications requiring metric coarse threaded holes, particularly M5x0.8 fastener installations in steel, aluminum, and other machinable materials. Common install scenarios include panel fabrication, equipment repair, and field maintenance where reducing tool changes saves time. The D4 thread limit designation makes it appropriate for standard tolerance threaded holes in general manufacturing and repair work.

Installation Notes

This tool is typically used by machinists and maintenance professionals in drill press or tapping machine setups. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before operation and that the correct cutting speed for the material is applied to avoid tool breakage. Use appropriate cutting fluid when tapping ferrous metals to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Always wear proper eye protection when operating cutting tools.
