Drill/Tap/Countersink Bit #8-32

This Westward 6EXL8 combines drilling, tapping and countersinking in one M2 steel tool. It is designed for tradespeople and technicians who need to prepare threaded holes quickly. The bit suits maintenance, fabrication and assembly tasks where separate steps would slow the job down.

3 in Overall Length and Bright Finish

At three inches long the bit reaches into typical workpiece depths without excessive overhang. The uncoated bright surface is standard for high-speed steel and allows easy inspection of cutting edges. A standard quick-change shank fits common drill chucks and impact drivers for fast swaps on site.

#8-32 UNC Thread Specification

This bit cuts a #8-32 Unified National Coarse thread, so it matches only fasteners with that exact pitch and diameter. Buyers needing metric threads, finer UNF pitches or larger diameters must select a different tool. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.
