    Chip-Clearing Tap and Drill Bit Sets for Through Holes

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Tap and Drill Bit Sets. Chip-Clearing Tap and Drill Bit Sets for Through Holes.
    Also known as gun taps, the taps in these sets have spiral-point flutes that push chips ahead of the tap and out of through holes. Because they don't need to be reversed to prevent buildup, they produce threads more efficiently than standard taps and are suitable for production work. Taps have a square shank for compatibility with tap wrenches and tap holders for drill presses and milling machines. With a plug chamfer, they have 3-5 chamfered cutting threads, so they're suitable for start-to-finish tapping. All taps and drill bits are made of high-speed steel for use on most metal and plastic.

    Drill and tap a variety of hole sizes. These taps and drill bits are for use on metal and plastic.
    Uncoated High-Speed Steel Tap—Uncoated high-speed steel taps have a longer tool life than carbon steel. They are strong enough for most jobs but don’t last as long as other high-speed steel taps. Use them for small-scale jobs.
    Uncoated Cobalt Steel Tap—Uncoated cobalt steel taps have higher strength and wear resistance than carbon steel and high-speed steel taps.
    Black-Oxide High-Speed Steel Tap—Black-oxide high-speed steel taps have a longer tool life than carbon steel. They cut with less friction than uncoated taps.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN)-Coated High-Speed Steel Tap—Titanium nitride (TiN)-coated high-speed steel taps have a longer tool life than carbon steel. They resist heat and wear better than uncoated taps, letting them last up to twice as long.
    Plug Chamfer—Plug-chamfer taps are a versatile choice for most tapping applications. With 3-5 chamfered cutting threads, they require moderate torque and are often used for start-to-finish tapping of through holes and closed-end holes. However, they do not start threads as easily as taper chamfers. When using them to tap closed-end holes, be sure to leave sufficient space at the bottom for chips to accumulate.
    Black-Oxide High-Speed Steel Drill Bit—Black-oxide high-speed steel drill bits have a longer tool life than carbon steel. They cut with less friction than uncoated drill bits.
    Gold-Oxide High-Speed Steel Drill Bit—Gold-oxide high-speed steel drill bits have a longer tool life than carbon steel.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN)-Coated High-Speed Steel Drill Bit—Titanium nitride (TiN)-coated high-speed steel drill bits have a longer tool life than carbon steel. They last longer and can drill at higher speeds than uncoated and oxide-coated drill bits.
    Uncoated Cobalt Steel Drill Bit—Uncoated cobalt steel drill bits have higher strength and wear resistance than carbon steel and high-speed steel drill bits.
    Uncoated High-Speed Steel Drill Bit—Uncoated high-speed steel drill bits have a longer tool life than carbon steel. They are strong enough for most jobs but don’t last as long as other high-speed steel drill bits. Use them for small-scale jobs.

    Tough and wear resistant, cobalt steel bits last at least twice as long as high-speed steel. They can also run up to 25% faster at higher temperatures without being damaged on hard materials, such as nickel.
    Short Length—The most rigid bits for drilling the straightest holes.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Drill at higher speeds and last longer than uncoated and oxide-coated bits, especially on tough materials like hardened steel and nickel.

    Coolant-Fed Carbide Drill Bits

    Image of Product. Side1 orientation. Drill Bits. Coolant-Fed Carbide Drill Bits, Maintenance Length, Round Shank.

    Maintenance Length

    Round Shank

    The hardest and most wear-resistant bits, these deliver coolant to reduce heat and evacuate chips. They are designed for CNC machines that supply coolant through the spindle rather than an external source, such as a hose and nozzle. Coolant flows directly from holes in the bit's tip onto the drilling surface. This speeds up cuts and leads to excellent performance in deep holes and tough materials such as stainless steel and titanium.
    Maintenance Length—Shorter than jobbers' length, these bits are more rigid for less wobble when drilling hard material. Also known as mechanics’ bits.
    Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) Coated—No drill bits last longer. These are the best for high-speed, high-temperature drilling of very hard and abrasive materials, including titanium and fiberglass.

    Spiral Flute

    Drill holes and cut threads without switching tools. Made of high-speed steel, these taps are for use on most metal and plastic. The square shank is compatible with tap holders for drill presses and milling machines. All have a plug chamfer with 3-5 chamfered cutting threads, so they're suitable for start-to-finish tapping.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN)-Coated High-Speed Steel—Titanium Nitride (TiN) coated taps resist heat and wear better than uncoated taps, letting them last up to twice as long.
    Spiral Flute—Taps with spiral flutes keep chips clear by drawing them back toward the tap and out of the hole.

    Use these versatile end mills for milling in most material, including aluminum, brass, bronze, iron, and steel. They have scooped corners for rounding the sharp edges of your workpiece.
    Uncoated High-Speed Steel—Use uncoated end mills for general purpose milling and short production runs. They stay sharper than coated end mills when used on soft materials like aluminum, leaving a better finish.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN)-Coated High-Speed Steel—Titanium nitride (TiN)-coated end mills create less friction than uncoated end mills, which means they last longer when run at similar speeds. Use coated end mills for demanding, high-speed jobs in hard material as well as for longer production runs. The coating reduces friction and vibration as they’re used, making them more wear resistant than uncoated end mills.
    Aluminum Titanium Nitride (ALTiN)-Coated High-Speed Steel—Aluminum titanium nitride (AlTiN)-coated end mills dissipate heat better than other end mills, especially at high speeds. At high temperatures, the coating creates a layer of aluminum oxide that transfers heat to the chips, keeping the tool cool, even when used without lubrication. Use coated end mills for demanding, high-speed jobs in hard material as well as for longer production runs. The coating reduces friction and vibration as they’re used, making them more wear resistant than uncoated end mills.
