Product Description
The Greenlee DTAPSS1/4-20 Drill/Tap Bit is a must - have for your toolkit. Here's what it includes: one 1/4 - 20 drill/tap bit made of stainless steel. This bit offers amazing features. It's crafted from strong high - speed steel, which gives it great heat and abrasion resistance, perfect for working with stainless steel. The optimized core helps cut down on torque and makes the bit last longer. The split - point tip allows for faster penetration and stops the bit from wandering while drilling. It's a longer bit, capable of drilling through materials up to 1/4' thick. Plus, the titanium nitride coating keeps it cool, drills faster, and extends its lifespan. As for specifications, it's sized 1/4 - 20 and is suitable for stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, brass, copper, fiberglass, and plastics, with a maximum material thickness of up to 1/4' (3 gauge).
Using the Greenlee 1/4 - 20 drill/tap bit is straightforward. First, make sure you've selected the right material that the bit is rated for, like stainless steel or aluminum. Then, firmly secure your workpiece. When you start drilling, apply steady pressure, and let the split - point tip do its job of preventing the bit from walking. Don't push too hard as the optimized core already reduces torque. For maintenance, after each use, clean the bit with a soft brush to remove any debris. If you notice the bit getting dull, it might be time to replace it. Store the bit in a dry place to prevent rusting. And always wear safety goggles when using this bit to protect your eyes from flying debris.
