Drill America POU Series 3/8 NPT Pipe Tap and 37/64 Drill Bit Set

The 3/8" Carbon Steel NPT Tap and 37/64" HSS Drill Bit Set is a versatile tool set designed to address a variety of threading and drilling needs. The Drill America dwtpt Series Qualtech carbon steel pipe tap is crafted to clean and re-thread damaged or jammed pipe threads, making it suitable for a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

The nominal size of the pipe tap corresponds to the pipe fitting to be tapped, rather than the actual size of the tap itself. The tap features a 3/4 inch per foot thread taper and a 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 inch thread chamfer, ensuring a smooth and secure threading process. It is recommended to use a sealant, such as Teflon tape or pipe compound, to ensure a proper seal when working with NPT threads.

The Drill America dwdn Series high-speed drill bit, on the other hand, is a dependable, general-purpose drill bit designed to perform well in a broad range of iron and steel materials. This drill bit is ideal for production, maintenance, or portable drilling jobs, thanks to its surface treatment with abrasion-resistant black oxide.

The black oxide treatment not only adds lubricity but also creates small pockets on the surface of the tool that help hold coolant near the cutting edge, improving performance and efficiency. The round shank of the drill bit allows it to be used with a wide variety of tool-holding systems.

When the drill bit is run in a counterclockwise direction (right-hand cut), the spiral flutes evacuate chips up and out of the cut, reducing the risk of clogging and ensuring a smoother drilling process.

The 3/8" carbon steel NPT tap and 37/64" HSS drill bit set come with a 1/2" shank and are packaged in a convenient plastic pouch, making it easy to store and transport the tools as needed.

This comprehensive set of tools is designed to meet the needs of both professional and DIY users, providing the necessary components to tackle a variety of threading and drilling tasks with confidence and efficiency.
