    The carbide teeth on these steel saws cut hard metal such as steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and titanium. They can be sharpened, so they last longer than saws with carbide-tipped steel teeth. Use them on a drill or drill press. An arbor and pilot drill (sold separately) are required.

    Drill Taps

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Drill Taps. Drill Taps, Straight Flute.

    Straight 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.
    Uncoated High-Speed Steel—Uncoated taps are strong enough for most tapping jobs but have the shortest tool life.

    Tap-Size Hollow-Core Cutters for Magnetic-Base Drills

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hollow-Core Cutters. Tap-Size Hollow-Core Cutters for Magnetic-Base Drills.
    These cutters are perfectly sized for cutting holes that will be tapped later. Use them with magnetic-base drills. Unlike drill bits, these cut only on the periphery of the hole and produce a solid slug. They're also known as annular cutters.
    Hollow-Core Cutter Pilot Pins—Pilot pins align the cutter and eject the slug. They're also known as ejector pins.
