Ideal Industries 36-601 High Speed Steel 3-Flute Drill Tap Kit, 4-Piece

Ideal Industries 36-601 High Speed Steel 3-Flute Drill Tap Kit, 4-Piece

The Ideal Industries 36-601 Drill Tap Kit combines drilling and tapping into a single tool, engineered with a high speed steel 3-flute design and a smooth start tip that centers accurately without wandering or skating on the work surface. This 4-piece kit covers four of the most commonly used thread sizes in electrical, mechanical, and general fabrication work: #6-32, #8-32, #10-32, and 1/4-20. Each drill tap drills the pilot hole and cuts the thread in one pass, saving time on panel work, enclosure modifications, and metal fabrication tasks where speed and accuracy matter. Built from high speed steel for durability under repeated use, this Ideal Industries kit is designed for electricians, panel builders, and maintenance technicians who need a reliable combination tool for creating threaded holes in sheet metal, electrical enclosures, and other light-to-medium gauge materials.

Key Features

• 3-Flute Design: High speed steel construction with a 3-flute geometry for efficient chip clearance and clean thread formation.
• Smooth Start Tip: Self-centering tip design that starts drilling accurately without wandering, reducing off-center holes and rework.
• Combination Drill and Tap: Drills the pilot hole and cuts the thread in a single operation, eliminating the need for separate drilling and tapping steps.
• Durable Material: High speed steel construction provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for repeated use on metal and enclosure materials.
• 4-Piece Kit: Includes four of the most commonly specified thread sizes for electrical and general fabrication applications: #6-32, #8-32, #10-32, and 1/4-20.
• Time-Saving Design: Reduces tool changes and setup time compared to using separate drill bits and taps for each hole.
