Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 97410 is a metric plug-style tap and number drill bit combo pack designed for hand cutting applications in metal, plastic, and similar materials. The set includes a 6.0 x 1.00 mm metric plug tap paired with a number 9 drill bit, giving technicians and tradespeople both tools needed to cut clean, accurate metric threads in a single purchase. The tap features precision-cut threads that are accurately formed for consistent, exact threading results. Heat-treated and tempered construction delivers file-hard threads and extended service life compared to standard untempered taps.

This combo pack is suited for maintenance technicians, HVAC installers, plumbers, and electricians who need to tap metric threads in the field or shop. The 6.0 x 1.00 thread specification is a standard M6 coarse pitch, commonly used in equipment mounting, panel hardware, and fixture installation across residential and commercial trade work. The plug-style tap geometry makes it practical for through-hole tapping in hand-tap applications where a tap wrench or T-handle driver is used.

Installation Notes

Installation of this tap and drill bit set is typically performed by maintenance technicians, HVAC mechanics, plumbers, or electricians during equipment mounting or hardware repair. Always secure the workpiece before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid when tapping metal to reduce friction and extend tool life. Start the tap straight and square to the drilled hole to avoid cross-threading or tap breakage. Do not force the tap — back it off periodically to clear chips when cutting deeper threads.
