Product Information

Full details

The Facom 5 Piece 3-in-1 Combined Drill & Tap Bit Set is an essential toolkit for metalworkers, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts who need to maximize efficiency during assembly tasks. By integrating drilling, tapping, and countersinking into a single operation, these bits significantly reduce tool changeover time and labor. While highly effective for thin-to-medium gauge metal applications, users should be aware that these bits are intended for specific size ranges (M4-M10) and require careful speed control to prevent breakage.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these bits be used on stainless steel?

They are designed for general metal applications; however, use caution and plenty of cutting fluid on stainless steel as it work-hardens easily.

Does this set include an M12 size?

No, the set includes M4, M5, M6, M8, and M10 sizes.

Can I use these with a standard cordless drill?

Yes, the 1/4 inch hex shank is fully compatible with standard power drills that have a hex chuck or a universal bit holder.

What is the maximum metal thickness these bits can handle?

These are generally best suited for thin-to-medium gauge metal; check that the thickness does not exceed the length of the tapping portion of the bit.

Are these bits replaceable if one breaks?

The set is sold as a collection; please check with your local tool supplier for individual replacement bits.

Troubleshooting

Bit is binding or sticking in the metal

Reduce your drilling speed and ensure you are using appropriate cutting lubricant.

Threads are rough or malformed

Check that the bit is being held perpendicular to the workpiece and apply more cutting oil.

Bit shank is slipping in the chuck

Ensure the hex shank is fully seated in the magnetic bit holder or chuck and that the chuck is tightened properly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly increases productivity by combining three steps into one
  • Universal 1/4 inch hex shank fits standard drills and impact drivers
  • High-quality construction from a trusted industrial brand
  • Reduces the need to carry multiple individual drill and tap tools

Cons

  • Limited to metric threading sizes M4 through M10
  • Requires careful operation to avoid snapping the bit in dense metals
  • Not intended for very thick plate metal where specialized taps are required

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To setup the bit, simply retract the chuck collar of your impact driver or drill and insert the 1/4 inch hex shank until it locks securely. Ensure the bit is seated fully to prevent wobble.

Care Instructions:

  • Always clear metal shavings from the flutes after every use.
  • Store the bits in their designated case to protect the cutting edges from dulling.
  • Apply a light coating of machine oil before storage to prevent oxidation.
  • Inspect the threads of the tap section regularly; if they show signs of rounding, replace the individual bit to avoid damaging your workpieces.
