18-piece gun tap drill bit set
The Westward 5PXJ1 kit combines drill bits and hand taps in a single 18-piece collection. High speed steel construction supports general-purpose threading tasks in metal. Fractional, letter and wire gauge sizing covers a range of common thread diameters. The set suits maintenance technicians and hobbyists who need matched drilling and tapping tools.
High speed steel with bright finish
Each drill bit uses high speed steel and an uncoated bright finish for standard cutting performance. The 118-degree point angle is suited to conventional drilling in mild steel and aluminium. Bits are not impact rated, so they are intended for drill presses or hand drills rather than impact drivers. The mixed measurement system lets users select the exact tap drill size without conversion charts.
Standard drilling thermals and power
High speed steel bits run at typical temperatures for uncoated tooling when used with cutting fluid. Noise and vibration depend on the host drill and workpiece rigidity rather than the bits themselves. Power draw follows the drill motor and the chosen speed for the given diameter. The set contains no moving parts, so it adds no electrical load beyond the driving tool.
