Drill/Tap/Countersink, Hss, 10-24

I only give 5 stars if something is truly exceptional and goes above and beyond what one might expect, and this item does exactly that. br>br>I bought some water misting nozzles so that I could make a misting system for my patio out of PVC piping. For the nozzles, I bought this bit to drill and tap 1/2 inch PVC pipe. The "deburr and countersink" feature is ineffective with 1/2 PVC pipe because the drill bit is too long. As a result, you must use extreme caution when drilling to avoid stripping the threads you've just created: Stopping and carefully retracting/reversing the drill as it approaches the back of the PVC is required. br>br>I believe that using schedule 20 will result in insufficient thread because the pipe wall is too thin. The use of schedule 40 (or, better yet, 600 psi pipe) provides sufficient "bite" and thread count. br>br>After some trial and error, I settled on using slip couplings wherever a mister nozzle was required. I then drilled through both the coupling and the pipe, resulting in an even better thread with no stripping.

Drilling and tapping some small brass misting nozzles in CPVC (PEX) worked out great. br>Of course, any old piece of steel should be able to drill PEX with ease. The threading, on the other hand, went off without a hitch and with a very clean cut. br>br>Here are some photos of my "misting wand," which I used to test the brass misting nozzles. If you're interested, you can read the story there.

If, on the other hand, you use this drill bit. This drill bit tap combo was purchased to make installing misting nozzles in PVC piping easier. In general, the design is excellent. If you use this drill bit, keep in mind that once you've penetrated whatever you're drilling into, you'll have to drill very slowly. When you start drilling with the tap portion of the bit, it's very easy to strip the threads. br>br>I would recommend this item for drilling and tapping jobs that require a quick response.

It was used to make a misting system by drilling and tapping 1/2" PVC. The first few holes were drilled in a drill press because I was too worried about keeping the drill straight. Bad idea; due to some vertical lash, it's extremely easy to get into the tap section, and stopping the press takes far too long to avoid overdoing it. I used a battery-powered drill for the rest, and the other 20 turned out beautifully.

It would be nice if the sprayer nozzle head had a flat counterbore rather than a countersink o- Since this was a suggested bundle while I was buying supplies to make a misting system for myself, I'll use it as a ring to sit on.

For our show cattle, my husband created misters out of pvc pipe. On the basis of a recommendation from a YouTube video, I ordered this item for him. The misting nozzles simply screw into the hole you drilled in the pipe. It's fantastic and has saved us a significant amount of time and money!.

YOU WILL REQUIRE IT! This machine is extremely quick and productive. It allows you to drill and tap in one simple step. I've never gotten any thicker. I always use lubricant on a 125" thick hot roll.
