When the drill meets the tap, the efficiency of drilling and tapping is tripled!

2025-01-15

The tap is the most important tool for manufacturing operators to process threads. The traditional processing method of internal thread is to first use a suitable drill to process the bottom hole of the thread, and then use the tap to tap the thread, which has the lack of process dispersion, because there are more processes in the production work, the replacement of the drill and tap frequently, resulting in low production efficiency, and the coaxiality of the drill and tap after the tool change is difficult to ensure, affecting the quality of the product.

In the world of metalworking and woodworking, efficiency is key. One tool that has gained popularity for its dual functionality is the combined tap and drill. This innovative tool allows users to drill a hole and tap it for threading in a single operation, saving both time and effort. Additionally, this tool minimizes the risk of misalignment, ensuring that the tap is perfectly centered in the drilled hole. This precision is crucial for creating strong, reliable threads that can withstand stress and strain.

Drilling and tapping combined tap, including the combined tap main body, the combined tap main body comprises a lower connecting rod and the upper connecting rod, the lower connecting rod is fixed under the front end face, the lower connecting rod includes the front end face, a circular narrow surface and a round rod block, the upper end of the connecting rod and the lower end of the connecting rod are fixed through the sleeve ring connection, the outer surface of the connecting rod is provided with an irregular groove. The two sides of the irregular groove are connected with threaded teeth, the upper part of the threaded teeth is fixed with a cutting pin cone, the upper end of the connecting rod is fixed with a drill end, the lower end of the connecting rod is fixed with a convex block, the convex block is fixed near the upper end of the connecting rod is fixed with a snap, the upper end of the connecting rod is provided with internal threads.

Using a combined tap and drill is straightforward, but there are a few key steps to ensure optimal results. First, select the appropriate size of the combined tool based on the material you are working with and the desired thread size. Next, securely clamp your workpiece to prevent movement during the drilling and tapping process.

Begin by drilling the hole at a slow speed to avoid overheating the tool. Once the hole is drilled to the desired depth, gradually increase the speed to tap the threads. It’s essential to apply consistent pressure and avoid forcing the tool, as this can lead to breakage or damage to the threads.

Finally, after completing the operation, clean the hole to remove any debris and ensure a smooth finish. With practice, using a combined tap and drill can significantly enhance your efficiency and precision in various projects, making it a valuable addition to any workshop.
