Frequently Asked Questions

What is the FORMDRILL FD1040L drill bit used for?

The FORMDRILL FD1040L is a collar-forming friction drill bit used to create threaded holes for 7/16"-20 UNF threads without cutting or tapping. It is ideal for thin-wall metal applications in automotive, HVAC, and general fabrication where strong, load-bearing threads are needed.

What are the specifications of the FORMDRILL FD1040L?

The FORMDRILL FD1040L is a long collar-forming friction drill bit with a 10.4 mm drill size, designed for 7/16"-20 UNF threads. Its long length allows access to recessed areas. The bit forms threads by friction, eliminating chips and reducing tool change time.
