Metallics DT632 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Metallics DT632 drill-tap combo bit actually do in one pass?
The DT632 is a high speed steel drill-tap combo sized for 6-32 thread. It drills the hole and cuts the 6-32 female thread in a single operation, so you are not swapping from a drill bit to a hand tap on sheet metal, strut, or box work. One piece per pouch.
2) Will the DT632 cut threads for a 6-32 machine screw, like the ones used on device plates and ground screws?
Yes. The DT632 taps 6-32, which is the standard machine screw thread for cover plates, device mounting, and many enclosure screws, so the hole it produces takes a 6-32 screw directly without a separate tap.
3) I need 8-32 instead of 6-32. Is the DT632 the wrong part?
Yes, the DT632 cuts 6-32 only. Thread size on a drill-tap is fixed by the tool, so an 8-32 or 10-32 hole needs the matching drill-tap in that size. Order by thread size, not by bit diameter.
4) Do I need a separate pilot drill before using the Metallics DT632?
No separate pilot bit is needed. The DT632 combines the drill point and the 6-32 tap in one tool, so the drilling and threading happen in the same plunge. You only need the driver or drill to run it.
5) Is high speed steel the right bit material for tapping steel strut and junction boxes?
High speed steel is what the DT632 is made from, and it is the standard cutting material for threading mild steel sheet, enclosures, and strut. It holds an edge at drilling speed better than plain carbon steel taps, which is why drill-tap combos for electrical rough-in are specified in HSS.
6) Is the DT632 drill-tap sold individually or in a multi-pack?
It ships as a single piece in a pouch. If you want multiple thread sizes on the truck, you order each size separately rather than getting an assortment in this pouch.
7) How do I order the Metallics 6-32 drill-tap by part number?
The manufacturer part number is DT632 from Metallics. There is one configuration, so that number covers it with no finish, length, or pack options to specify.
