Greenlee DTAPSS Series Drill/Tap Bit, Stainless Steel, Titanium Nitride Coated

The Greenlee DTAPSS Series Drill/Tap Bit is engineered for electricians and installers who need to drill and tap in a single pass through stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, brass, copper, fiberglass, and plastics. Available in Tap Thread Size options ranging from 6-32 UNC Thread and 8-32 UNC Thread up to 1/4-20 UNC Thread, this series is built from strong, high-speed steel and finished with a Titanium Nitride coating that runs cooler, drills faster, and lasts longer than standard uncoated bits. A split-point tip resists walking on contact and penetrates material faster, making it an efficient choice for panel, enclosure, and bracket fabrication where a clean tapped hole is required in material up to 1/4" thick.

Key Features

  • Thread Size Range: Available in 6-32 UNC, 8-32 UNC, and 1/4-20 UNC Thread configurations to match a range of fastener and mounting-hole requirements.
  • Multi-Material Capability: Drills and taps Stainless Steel, Mild Steel, Aluminum, Brass, Copper, Fiberglass, and Plastics without needing separate tools.
  • Durable Construction: Strong, high-speed steel provides superior resistance to heat and abrasion for extended service life on tough materials.
  • Split-Point Tip: Resists walking and penetrates material faster for accurate hole placement, right on the mark every time.
  • Material Thickness: Designed to drill in material up to 1/4" thick, covering most panel and enclosure applications.
  • Titanium Nitride Coating: Ensures the bit runs cooler, drills faster, and lasts significantly longer than uncoated alternatives.
  • Optimized Core: Reduces torque transferred to the user during operation while extending overall tool life.
  • Complete Kit: Includes a durable storage case and a quick-change adapter for fast bit swaps on the job.

Greenlee DTAPSS6-32 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Greenlee DTAPSS drill/tap bit cut threads in a stainless steel enclosure panel?
Yes. The DTAPSS Series drills and taps stainless steel in one pass, along with mild steel, aluminum, brass, copper, fiberglass, and plastics. It is high-speed steel with a titanium nitride coating that runs cooler on hard material, and the split-point tip keeps it from walking when you start a hole on a smooth panel face.
2) What is the maximum material thickness a Greenlee DTAPSS bit can drill and tap?
Up to 1/4 inch thick. That covers typical sheet steel and stainless enclosure walls, strut, and mounting brackets. For anything thicker you need a separate drill and hand tap, since the tapping flutes on this bit are sized for the 1/4 inch limit.
3) Which thread sizes does the Greenlee DTAPSS come in, and which one do I need for a grounding lug?
Three thread sizes: 6-32 UNC (DTAPSS6-32), 8-32 UNC (DTAPSS8-32), and 1/4-20 UNC (DTAPSS1/4-20). Pick the bit to match the machine screw you are installing, not the hole you want. Grounding lugs and heavier bonding hardware commonly use a 1/4-20 screw; 10-32 is also common for bonding, and that size is not part of the DTAPSS lineup, so check the lug hardware first. Device and small bracket mounting is where 6-32 and 8-32 land.
4) Do I need to buy a quick-change adapter separately for the Greenlee drill/tap bit?
No. Each DTAPSS drill/tap bit ships with a quick-change adapter and a storage case, so you can swap between thread sizes on the job without chucking a bare shank each time.
5) Should I use a combination drill/tap bit or drill and hand tap separately?
A drill/tap bit like the DTAPSS makes sense when you are putting a lot of fastener holes in sheet material up to 1/4 inch and want one tool in the drill: pilot, drill, and thread in a single pass, which is the usual case on panel, enclosure, and bracket fabrication. Separate drill bit and hand tap are the better route when the material is thicker than 1/4 inch, when you need a thread size outside 6-32, 8-32, and 1/4-20 UNC, or when you need to feel the tap by hand in a blind or awkward hole.
6) Are Greenlee DTAPSS bits sold individually by thread size or only as a set?
They are ordered by thread size, one bit per selection: 6-32 UNC, 8-32 UNC, or 1/4-20 UNC. Each one comes as a kit with its own case and quick-change adapter, so standardizing a crew on a single screw size means buying just that size.
7) Is the titanium nitride coating on the Greenlee DTAPSS worth it over a plain uncoated drill/tap?
The titanium nitride finish is there for heat. It lets the bit run cooler and last longer than an uncoated bit, which matters most on stainless, where heat is what kills a high-speed steel cutting edge. If you are only tapping aluminum or plastic occasionally, the coating matters less; on stainless panels it is the reason this version exists.
8) Will the Greenlee drill/tap bit wander when starting a hole on a curved or painted enclosure?
The split-point tip is the feature that addresses this, it bites on contact instead of skating, so you can place the hole on your mark without center punching first. Standard practice still applies on a sloped or curved surface: get the drill square to the work and keep steady pressure.
