Value Collection DT22HEX-10-24 Combination Drill Tap 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION DT22HEX-10-24 is a combination drill tap designed to drill and tap a 10-24 thread in a single pass. The tool is machined from high molybdenum high speed steel for extended wear resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It features 2 flutes and a 135-degree split point for self-centering entry without a center punch. Black and gold coating reduces friction and provides a visual wear indicator. Overall length is 2.5 inches with a 0.625-inch thread length. Used by machinists, pipefitters, and HVAC and electrical tradespeople for in-place tapping where separate drill-and-tap operations are impractical.

This combination drill tap is suited for light-duty production and field repair work where a 10-24 machine screw thread is required. Typical applications include sheet metal fabrication, electrical panel work, HVAC equipment mounting, and general mechanical assembly. Its compact 2.5-inch overall length makes it manageable in tight spaces common to service and installation work. Sold individually.

Key Features

• Drills and taps a 10-24 thread in one operation, reducing setup time
• High molybdenum high speed steel construction for durability in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 135-degree split point for self-centering entry without a center punch
• 2-flute design promotes chip clearance in through-hole applications
• Black and gold coating reduces friction and indicates wear progression
• 0.625-inch thread length and 2.5-inch overall length suited for tight-access drilling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for any application requiring a 10-24 combination drill tap in high molybdenum high speed steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or qualified tradespeople using a standard drill press, hand drill, or tapping machine capable of accepting the tool shank. Power down all equipment and secure the workpiece before beginning. Use cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Do not reverse the tool under power, as combination drill taps are designed for forward-cutting operation only.
