FAQs
Can I use my impact wrench with VersaDrive Drill Taps
Yes, VersaDrive Drill Taps are specially hardened to allow them to be used with Impact Drivers and Wrenches, providing the operating instructions are followed. Versadrive Impact Tapping is up to 15 times faster than hand tapping, creating excellent threaded holes in seconds
How many holes can I expect Sheet Metal Drill Taps to last
We have many customer reports and testimonials of Drill- taps lasting hundreds of holes or even more than a thousand. However our tools are often used in a tough environment, sometimes with less than ideal working conditions so it can vary widely depending on the application and the user life expectancy. If you are getting less than 100-200 holes per tap as a rule of thumb we can look at your application and most likely suggest some improvements to help increase life expectancy.
Can I Drill & tap Stainless steel using Sheet Metal Impact Drill Taps
Yes, Stainless Steel can be drill/tapped with no issues. For optimum tool life We recommend using lower RPM speeds, higher pressure and increased lubrication.
Which Lubricant do you recommend for Impact Tapping
Speedlube is generally the best all purpose lubricant, for fast, convenient and accurate aerosol application ensuring coverage inside the hole as well as on the tool. However our BioCut paste is very popular and efficient lubricant for dipping the tool directly into the tin. It’s also great for minimising run off or mess, on painted surfaces or other sensitive applications where run off is to be avoided. Aeropaste can be used if working in applications such as Overhead where a fluid lubricant will run off. Finally BioCut Blue cutting fluid works particularly well with harder materials or difficult applications and is ideal forfor direct application onto the tool and into the hole when working on flat surfaces.
What Material Thickness can I Tap
As a rule of thumb, the maximum tapping thickness is the diameter of the thread, so an M10 Drill Tap has a maximum thickness recommendation of 10mm. For thicker materials we reccomend the VersaDrive Heavy Duty Drill Taps
Can I use these for tapping Blind Holes
No Drill Taps cannot be used for Tapping Blind Holes as the drill point has to completely penetrate and exit the surface material before the threaded Tap can start cutting
