THREADING TOOLS / INDUSTRIAL PROCUREMENT
Long Series HSS Hex Shank Drill Tap
Compare drilling length, thread length and reach before choosing the long hex-shank combination tool.
The long-series HSS hex-shank drill tap combines drilling, tapping and chamfering in a single tool form. Seven metric combinations cover M3 × 0.5 to M12 × 1.75, with 65–80 mm overall lengths and a 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) hex shank. Drilling and threading lengths are listed separately.

PRODUCT SELECTION
Sizes, Dimensions & Drive Interface
Dimensions are in millimetres except thread designations, drive labels and lead counts. Read each column with the dimension reference below.
| Thread / designation | Overall length (mm) | Drill length (mm) | Thread length (mm) | Hex shank | Catalogue series label |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M3x0.5 | 65 | 7.5 | 12.5 | 1/4in(6.35mm) | JIS |
| M4x0.7 | 65 | 8.5 | 13.5 | 1/4in(6.35mm) | JIS |
| M5x0.8 | 69 | 9.5 | 14.5 | 1/4in(6.35mm) | JIS |
| M6x1.0 | 69 | 10.5 | 16.5 | 1/4in(6.35mm) | JIS |
| M8x1.25 | 72 | 15.5 | 20 | 1/4in(6.35mm) | JIS |
| M10x1.5 | 72 | 15.5 | 22 | 1/4in(6.35mm) | JIS |
| M12x1.75 | 80 | 20.5 | 26 | 1/4in(6.35mm) | JIS |
Review the drill and thread sections together with component thickness and the required cutting sequence.
At M3 × 0.5, this series lists 65 mm overall length, 7.5 mm drill length and 12.5 mm thread length. Compare all three with the short and compact M3 versions before choosing a replacement.

PRODUCT SELECTION
Application, Chip Path & Selection Limits
Match the component and operation
Review material thickness and clearance against the drill section before the thread section enters the workpiece. Show the workpiece grade and available exit space in the application drawing.
Check the operating boundary
Overall length does not equal permitted material thickness. The 1/4-inch shank does not establish an impact-driver rating, and a catalogue series label does not change the metric thread into an inch thread.
PRODUCT SELECTION
Compare the Adjacent Product Families
| Product family | Selection boundary to review |
|---|---|
| Short Series HSS Hex Shank Drill Tap | Choose the short metric combination series by its actual dimensions, not its catalogue label. |
| Compact HSS Hex Shank Drill Tap | Use size-specific drill and thread lengths to decide whether the compact geometry fits. |
| HSS Square Drive Combined Drill Tap | Match the square-drive combined tool to the holder drawing before replacing a hex-shank drill tap. |
Keep the selected family, thread designation and dimensional reference together. Shared nominal sizes or drive shapes do not establish interchangeability.
WORKSHOP & SUPPLIER REVIEW
Workshop, Material Handling & Order Organisation
A long combination tool needs its drilling and threading sections preserved in the order specification. During supplier review, connect those dimensions to the customer’s component thickness and clearance drawing.
Bar-stock handling
Carry the HSS requirement with the item drawing when discussing material preparation for this range.
Component feed and transfer
Keep the approved item identity and dimensional revision with components during order discussions. Use the exact thread and drive dimensions to distinguish similar tools.
Plan the order around the approved item
- Define the thread and application using this product’s selection table.
- Compare the tool interface and cutting geometry with the sample or drawing.
- Agree sample acceptance, quantities by size and the requested pack arrangement.
- Reference the same approved item and revision for replenishment.
QUALITY & SAMPLE ACCEPTANCE
Quality Review for the Selected Specification
Check the transition between drill and threaded sections against the component thickness. Acceptance should include the complete geometry and hex fit, not only the nominal threaded diameter.
Use the following items to define the sample and order acceptance brief.
| Review item | What to agree | Procurement risk addressed |
|---|---|---|
| Thread identification | Nominal size, required pitch and finished-thread requirement | Avoid the wrong thread family or pitch |
| Dimensions and holding | At M3 × 0.5, this series lists 65 mm overall length, 7.5 mm drill length and 12.5 mm thread length. Compare all three with the short and compact M3 versions before choosing a replacement. | Avoid holder mismatch, insufficient reach or unintended substitution |
| Geometry / set identity | Check the transition between drill and threaded sections against the component thickness. Acceptance should include the complete geometry and hex fit, not only the nominal threaded diameter. | Avoid the wrong cutting form or incomplete member sequence |
| Sample acceptance plan | Agree the reference drawing, acceptance method and sampling requirement for the application | Make sample approval and repeat-order review refer to the same item |
PROCUREMENT & REPLENISHMENT
Packaging, Custom Requests & Bulk Purchasing
Keep the packing brief specific
For combination-tool orders, provide component thickness by size rather than requesting a generic drill-and-tap kit. List the long series explicitly with the drill and thread section dimensions, quantity and required pack arrangement.
Marking, packs & repeat orders
Use long series with the approved overall, drill and thread lengths in the item reference. If several combination families are ordered together, list the contents by family as well as metric size.
Turn the selection into a clear purchasing list
Compare drilling length, thread length and reach before choosing the long hex-shank combination tool.
SELECTION & BUYER QUESTIONS
Product Questions
How does a drill tap differ from a normal tap?
A combination drill tap includes a drilling section ahead of the thread section. A normal tap requires a separately prepared hole.
What makes this the long series?
Listed overall lengths are 65–80 mm, with their own drilling and threading lengths. At M3, the tool is 65 mm long rather than the short series’ 53.7 mm.
Can the 65 mm M3 tool drill and tap 65 mm-thick material?
No. Overall length is not a thickness rating. The M3 drill section is listed as 7.5 mm, and the complete cutting sequence needs a separate thickness and clearance review.
Does the 1/4-inch hex shank mean a 1/4-inch thread?
No. It is the drive size, 6.35 mm. This range has the metric thread combinations shown in the table.
Can I use it with an impact driver?
The hex interface alone does not establish impact suitability. Provide the machine, holder and operating mode for application review.
What must distinguish a long-series reorder from other drill taps?
Keep overall, drill and thread lengths with the size/pitch and hex specification. Attach component thickness and the approved sample or drawing reference.
