Tap for 10-32 helicoil?

Grimm · 08-25-2008, 10:06 PM

Anyone know off hand, what size tap I need for 10-32 helicoils?

GRIMM!!! lol, how's the weather out there?

I don't know off hand what the tap is, but I'll talk to one of our Mat Techs tomorrow at the unit and post. Hopefully someone will beat me to it.

ps. Man, you should see my PGP on that ANS slider frame you traded me

Only a few more parts and I'll post some pics here and in the pump club.

I don't think that chart is accurate. The 10/32 helicoil uses a 13/64" drill bit. The tap is proprietary. It's a 3FPB.

This one looks right...

My Mat Tech friend agrees with the drill bit size (13/64") but was thrown by the tap...now I can tell him somethign new!

All the helicol taps I have used are specific for helicoil only. Just can't use a regular tap. If my machinest book wasn't packed,I'd be able to tell you. The taps will say HELICOIL on them.

yea helicoil taps are their own threads. There cannot be a substitute tap such as a normal one. That chart above me is correct. The tap may say 10/32 on it but if its a "helicoil" tap its there to tap threads so that after you insert the helicoil it will be 10/32
