Product Description
Milwaukee 20pc SAE Tap and Drill Bit Set
Model Number: 49-22-5612
The Milwaukee 49-22-5612 is a 20-Piece SAE Tap and Drill Bit Set, built for cutting and repairing inch (SAE) internal threads. A tap cuts threads inside a drilled hole so a bolt or screw can thread into it, and this set pairs ten plug taps with the ten correct drill bits needed to drill the pilot hole for each tap, so you have the matched tap and tap-drill for every size in one kit. The taps cover the ten most common SAE sizes: 4-40, 6-32, 8-32, 10-24, and 10-32, plus 1/4-20, 5/16-18, 3/8-16, 7/16-14, and 1/2-13. Nine are National Coarse (NC) threads and the 10-32 is a National Fine (NF) thread, covering the range from small machine-screw threads up to 1/2 in. bolt threads. The matching drill bits, in sizes #43, #36, #29, #25, #21, #7, F, 5/16 in., U, and 27/64 in., are the correct tap-drill size for each tap, which takes the guesswork out of selecting the right pilot hole, the step that most affects a clean, properly fitting thread.
The set is built for durability and clear use. The taps feature long-lasting laser-etched sizing for the clearest markings, so you can read the size throughout the life of the tap, and the components are made to Milwaukee's professional standard. For best results, use the taps with cutting fluid: lubricating the tap while threading produces cleaner threads, extends tap life, and reduces the risk of breaking a tap in the hole. This is a tapping set for cutting internal threads; it does not include dies for cutting external threads, so if you also need to cut threads onto a rod or bolt, a tap and die set is the tool for that.
This tap and drill bit set is a practical choice for mechanics, maintenance technicians, fabricators, and anyone who works with SAE-threaded fasteners and needs to cut new threads or clean up and restore damaged ones. By pairing each tap with its correct tap drill, it is a complete, self-contained kit for the most common inch threads. Note that hand taps are designed for hand threading and are not recommended for use with power tools, and always wear eye protection when drilling and tapping. Milwaukee hand tools are backed by a lifetime guarantee. For a technician who runs into stripped or missing SAE threads, it is a compact, ready-to-use threading kit.
