Value Collection 00382374 Combination Drill Tap M6x1 D5 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 00382374 is a combination drill tap designed to drill and tap a hole in a single operation. It cuts an M6x1 metric coarse thread with a D5 thread limit and is manufactured from high-speed steel for durability across a range of workpiece materials. The drill diameter is 0.1969 inches (5.00 mm), the thread length is 13/16 inches, and the overall length is 2-1/2 inches. This tool is used by machinists, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and maintenance tradespeople who need to create tapped holes quickly without swapping between a drill bit and a separate tap.

This combination drill tap suits metal fabrication, equipment repair, and field service applications where M6x1 metric coarse threaded fasteners are required. It is appropriate for use in ferrous and non-ferrous metals encountered in HVAC equipment frames, electrical enclosures, plumbing support brackets, and general mechanical assemblies. The high-speed steel construction supports use in both bench drill press setups and hand-held power drill applications at appropriate feed rates and cutting speeds.

Key Features

• Combines drilling and tapping into a single pass, reducing setup time
• M6x1 metric coarse thread form for common metric fastener compatibility
• D5 thread limit provides consistent tolerance for standard M6 bolts and screws
• High-speed steel construction resists heat and wear during cutting operations
• Compact 2-1/2 inch overall length suits tight-clearance work areas
• 5.00 mm drill diameter matches standard M6 tap drill sizing

Compatibility

Designed for use in applications requiring M6x1 metric coarse threaded holes in metal workpieces. Suitable for use with standard drill press or hand-held power drill setups that can maintain appropriate RPM and feed for high-speed steel combination drill taps.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by machinists or skilled tradespeople familiar with tapping operations. Secure the workpiece firmly before use and apply cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Use the lowest practical RPM to prevent tool breakage, and back off periodically to clear chips. Replace the tool if tip chipping or thread form degradation is observed.
