Value Collection 314-9586 Tap Drill Set 18 Pc Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-9586 is an 18-piece tap and drill set covering thread sizes from 6-32 up to 1/2-13, paired with matching drill bits ranging from 5/16 inches to 27/64 inches. Taps are high speed steel with a bright finish and plug chamfer, ground to spiral point geometry for clean thread starting in through-hole applications. Drill bits are also high speed steel. The set ships in a metal case that keeps taps and drills organized and ready for use on the bench or in the field. Machinists, maintenance mechanics, and general metalworking shops use this set for standard unified inch thread tapping operations across a range of fastener sizes.

This set covers nine common unified coarse and fine thread sizes: 6-32, 8-32, 10-24, 10-32, 1/4-20, 5/16-18, 3/8-16, 7/16-14, and 1/2-13. Each tap is paired with its recommended tap drill. Drill sizes included are number 36, number 29, number 25, number 21, number 7, letter F, 5/16 inches, letter U, and 27/64 inches. The set is suited for job shops, maintenance departments, and fabrication work where a compact, all-in-one tapping solution covering the most frequently encountered inch thread sizes is needed.

Installation Notes

Always secure the workpiece before drilling or tapping. Power down and lock out any machine tool before changing bits or taps. Use cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Spiral point taps are intended for through-hole applications only; do not use in blind holes where chip evacuation is restricted.
