Draper Taper Cutter - 4 - 24mm

This taper cutter is designed for thin mild steel, nonferrous metals, and car bodies. It is not rated for specific thickness but generally performs best on materials up to approximately 2-3mm thick, depending on the metal's hardness.

This tool is designed to be used with a power drill. While it might be possible with a very high-torque hand drill, efficient and effective use is achieved with the consistent speed and power of a motor-driven drill.

It is suitable for thin mild steel, and various nonferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper. It is also effective on car body panels.

Use a moderate drill speed, apply steady pressure, and consider using a cutting fluid or lubricant. Ensure the material is properly clamped and avoid forcing the tool.

The Draper Taper Cutter is designed to create or enlarge holes within a range of 4mm to 24mm in diameter.

Yes, the tapered design allows for effective deburring and chamfering of hole edges after drilling, creating a smoother finish.

Ensure the tool is securely clamped in the drill chuck. Check if the material being cut is within the recommended thickness and type. Try increasing drill speed slightly or applying more consistent pressure.

Verify the taper cutter is properly centered in the drill chuck. Ensure the material being worked on is firmly secured. Use a steady, consistent feed rate and avoid 'chasing' the cut.

Reduce the drill speed and apply cutting fluid or lubricant to the cutting area. Allow the tool to cool periodically.
