Value Collection 00382382 M8x1.25 Combination Drill Tap D5 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 00382382 is a combination drill tap designed to drill and tap an M8x1.25 metric coarse thread in a single operation. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), this tool handles both the hole-forming and thread-cutting steps without requiring a tool change, reducing cycle time in production and maintenance environments. The drill diameter is 0.2657 inches (6.75 mm), the thread length is 31/32 inches, and the overall length is 2-27/32 inches. The D5 thread limit indicates a standard tolerance class suited for general-purpose metric threaded connections. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators use this tool in drill presses, CNC machines, and hand-held power tools.

This combination drill tap is used in applications requiring M8x1.25 metric coarse threads in steel, aluminum, and similar machinable materials. It is well suited for light manufacturing, equipment repair, and maintenance operations where a single-pass threading solution saves time. The compact overall length of 2-27/32 inches makes it practical for confined workspaces. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both shop floor production runs and field repair work.

Key Features

• Single-pass operation: drills and taps M8x1.25 metric coarse threads simultaneously
• High-speed steel construction for durability across a range of machinable materials
• D5 thread limit for standard general-purpose metric thread tolerance
• Drill diameter of 0.2657 inches (6.75 mm) matched to M8x1.25 thread specification
• Thread length of 31/32 inches provides adequate thread engagement depth for most fastener applications
• Overall length of 2-27/32 inches suits both machine tool and handheld power tool use

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring M8x1.25 metric coarse threads. Compatible with standard drill press chucks, CNC spindles, and handheld power drill chucks that accept straight-shank tooling.

Installation Notes

This tool is typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a drill press, CNC machine, or handheld power drill. Use appropriate cutting fluid or tapping oil to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Secure the workpiece firmly before operation to prevent movement during drilling and tapping. Inspect the tool for wear or chipping before each use and replace if cutting edges are damaged.
