Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Pick the part number by the thread you need to cut: CDT3M for M3 x 0.5 up to CDT10M for M10 x 1.5. The tool is designed for through-holes up to 2X nominal diameter and the drill point must break through the part before threading, so check the material thickness first.

To check a tapped thread see the: thread plug gauge, 7 piece metric plug gauge set.
