Cutting Tools Outlet Guides

SDS-Plus is a hammer-bit shank system for compatible rotary hammers and lighter concrete drilling applications.

Metric tap markings combine nominal diameter and pitch, such as M10 x 1.5.

NPT is tapered pipe threading while NPS is straight pipe threading; the fitting standard determines the tool.

UNC and UNF identify coarse and fine unified thread series used with matching taps, dies and fasteners.

The 118-degree point is a common general-purpose geometry for drilling a wide range of materials.

A split-point geometry helps reduce walking and can improve starting behavior on many metal drilling jobs.

Drill bit sizes may be fractional, metric, letter or number; the label determines the actual diameter.

A pilot pin helps locate the hole, guide the cutter and assist with slug ejection.

A 3/4-inch Weldon shank is a common annular cutter interface used with compatible magnetic drill arbors.

A screw extractor removes damaged fasteners after a properly centered pilot hole is created.

A carbide burr is a rotary cutting tool used for deburring, shaping, blending and material removal.

A reamer removes a small amount of material to improve hole size, roundness and finish after drilling.
