Product Description
Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE 10-24 Impact Drill and Tap
Model Number: 48-89-4872
The Milwaukee 48-89-4872 is a SHOCKWAVE 10-24 Impact Drill and Tap — a matched combination of drill bit and impact-rated tap for drilling and tapping 10-24 UNC machine screw threads with an impact driver or drill. The 10-24 UNC is one of the most commonly used machine screw thread specifications in North American equipment assembly, electrical panel hardware, rack-mount equipment, HVAC controls, and the broad range of light-to-medium machine screw fastening where the 10-24 thread provides the standard thread form for #10 fastener diameter applications. The drill bit is sized to the correct tap drill diameter for the 10-24 thread root, and the SHOCKWAVE impact-rated tap is manufactured from materials that absorb the rotational impact energy of impact driver hammer strikes without the brittle fracture mode that standard hand taps exhibit when driven with impact tools.
Milwaukee provides both the drill and tap as a matched set — the drill bit creates the correctly-sized pilot hole for the 10-24 tap to cut clean, accurate threads without the under- or over-sized pilot that would produce thread quality problems or tap breakage. The powered tapping capability with the impact-rated SHOCKWAVE tap transforms the 10-24 machine screw tapping operation from a slow, manual process into a fast, consistent powered operation for production panel assembly, equipment mounting, and rack hardware installation. Always use cutting oil during tapping and periodically retract to clear chips for best thread quality and tap life.
