Value Collection 01713056 Combination Drill Tap 10-32 H3

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01713056 is a combination drill tap that drills a pilot hole and cuts threads in a single operation. Machined from high-speed steel, it handles thread size 10-32 UNF with an H3 thread limit, making it suited for production and repair work in steel, aluminum, and similar materials. The drill diameter is 0.1635 inches and the overall length is 2.375 inches. This tool is commonly used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators who need to reduce setup time when tapping through moderate-depth material.

This combination drill tap is used in manual and CNC tapping applications where a 10-32 UNF thread is required. The 0.5625-inch thread length suits shallow-to-moderate depth holes in light metal, sheet stock, and brackets. It is a practical choice for production shops, field maintenance crews, and machine repair applications where eliminating a separate drilling step saves time. The H3 thread limit provides consistent tolerance control for standard 10-32 fastener fitment.

Installation Notes

This tool should be installed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with tapping operations. Use appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve thread quality, particularly in steel. Secure the workpiece and ensure the spindle is properly aligned before starting to avoid tool breakage. Follow applicable shop safety procedures, including machine guarding and RPM settings appropriate for the material being tapped.
