Greenlee #6-32 Drill/Tap Bit with Quick Change Hex Shank - High Speed Steel Power Tool Accessory

Greenlee #6-32 Drill/Tap Bit with Quick Change Hex Shank

Professional Three-in-One Power Tool Accessory for Complete Hole Processing

The Greenlee #6-32 Drill/Tap Bit delivers professional-grade performance for drilling, tapping, and deburring operations in a single tool. Constructed from hardened high-speed steel with a 1/4 IN quick change hex shank, this power tool accessory provides reliable connection strength and extended service life. Designed for up to 10-gauge metal applications across mild steel, copper, brass, and aluminum materials with 32 TPI threading capability.

Professional Features & Benefits

• High Speed Steel Construction: Hardened material provides superior durability and longer tool life compared to carbon steel alternatives for demanding professional applications.
• Three-in-One Operation: Complete hole drilling, tapping, and deburring/countersinking in one operation saves significant labor time and improves workflow efficiency.
• Quick Change Hex Shank: 1/4 IN hex design ensures strong connection to drill chuck and enables rapid tool changes for increased productivity.
• Back Tapered Design: Prevents thread damage from over-drilling while providing deburr/countersink capability beyond the back taper for clean finished holes.
• Split Point with Web Thinning: Advanced point geometry delivers precise drilling performance and reduces walking on material surfaces.
• Multi-Material Compatibility: Engineered for reliable performance across mild steel, copper, brass, and aluminum up to 10-gauge thickness.
• 32 TPI Threading: NC thread type provides standard compatibility for #6 fastener applications in professional installations.

Installation & Operation

1. Mount the drill/tap bit securely in a compatible power drill chuck using the 1/4 IN quick change hex shank.
2. Select appropriate drill speed for the material type and thickness being processed (lower speeds recommended for tapping operations).
3. Position the bit perpendicular to the work surface and begin drilling at the marked location with steady, controlled pressure.
4. Continue operation through the complete drilling and tapping cycle, allowing the back taper design to provide automatic deburring.
5. Reverse drill rotation briefly to break chips and withdraw the bit cleanly from the completed threaded hole.
6. Inspect the finished hole for proper thread formation and clean edges before proceeding with fastener installation.
