VersaDrive Heavy Duty Drill-Tap M12 x 1.75mm

VersaDrive® Heavy Duty Drill Taps are an industrial metalwork or fabrication tool for drilling and tapping heavy steel in one easy operation. Primarily they are designed to be used with a reversible Magnet Drill, although they can also be adapted for use with an Impact Wrench to enlarge and tap existing holes. With a drill point optimised for use in fixed drilling machines like Magnetic Drills or Pillar drills, these are not recommended for use in a Pistol Drill. Where they are to be used with an Impact Wrench to enlarge and tap holes pilot drilling is recommended with a separate drill bit. • Impact Chipbreaker action for effective swarf evacuation • Heavy duty straight flute design creates a strong and durable tool • Ground flute twist drill creates the correct pilot hole size • Rated for heavy duty plate thicknesses • Industrial grade Titanium Nitride coating reduces heat buildup and burn-out • Use on Impact to prevent dangerous kickback caused by handheld rotary tools • Heavy-duty hex shank design for secure non-slip operation • Impact-rated due to dual hardening process - allows up to 15X faster speed than traditional methods Maximum tapping depth = 25mm Total Length 117mm • Ideal for use in Pillar Drills & Magnet Drills • Correct RPM is critical for good performance on larger sizes • For Impact Wrench use, pilot drilling is recommended • Use appropriate lubrication and correct RPM to achieve long tool life
