This product comes with a brochure and a data sheet. It includes one 10-24 drill/tap bit made of stainless steel. Key features: Crafted from high-strength high-speed steel, it offers excellent heat and abrasion resistance, ensuring top-notch performance when working with stainless steel. The optimized core design cuts down on torque and prolongs the bit's lifespan. The split-point tip allows for quicker penetration and prevents the bit from wandering during drilling. With its longer length, it can drill through materials up to 1/4' thick. The titanium nitride coating helps the bit run cooler, drill faster, and last longer. Specifications: Size is 10-24. It's suitable for stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, brass, copper, fiberglass, and plastics. The maximum material thickness it can handle is up to 1/4' thick (3 gauge).
Using this drill/tap bit is easy. First, select the appropriate material you want to drill, like stainless steel, mild steel, or others it's rated for. Make sure the material thickness is within the 1/4' limit. When starting to drill, hold the drill steady and let the split - point tip do its job of preventing the bit from walking. Apply moderate pressure as the high - speed steel bit penetrates the material. The titanium nitride coating will help keep the bit cool and make the drilling process faster. After use, clean the bit with a dry cloth to remove any debris. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting. Avoid using it on materials thicker than 1/4' as this may damage the bit. If you notice any signs of excessive wear, it's time to replace the bit for optimal performance.
