can these be used to drill and tap aluminum blocks or brass?

Yes they wil.l I would recommend using a lubricant while drilling and a low speed setting.The small taps will break if you force slot of pressure.
1767314
Yes. Depends on the thickness. I have tapped 1/4" aluminum with no problem. As with taps the deeper the hole the more caution you should use. If using a cordless drill use it on the screw setting so as not to break the tap. Use lube.

According to the manufacturer you can. Its rated up to 10 or 12 gauge steel.

This is a light weight drill and it depends on the weight of the aluminum you want to drill so the answer is I really don't know.If you wanted to try I would suggest starting with a small bit and working up I hope this helps you

Yes you could use for that. I've used them to "stone" my trigger assembly in my S&W; 629.

This set is a drilbit tip with tapping feature after drill is started. All in one bit. Its good for drill/tap ping electrical panels and other lighter gauge metals. Not sure what your looking to do

I suggest you read the description better and listen to the other answers. These are very small and precise bits not meant for drilling.

I never tried but having been a machinist before retirement, I seriously doubt it. I think that the drill "chips" would prevent the drill from cutting into them. And they may be to hard. But taking a better look at them, they seem to be crimped together, maybe filled with some magnetizing element. What the heck, if I wanted to drill a hole in them and they were mine, I would give it a try. L.

I would say no, this is meant for quick and easy taps for thin metal enclosures, if your going to machine as a profession then you probably want a heavy duty tap and die set that is built tough. As an electrician I can go cheap on my hammer because I dont use it much, but when it comes to my wire hand tools I want high quality heavy duty tools not gimmicks.

Confusing answers! This particular tool can only be used for the copper style crimp rings...NOT the stainless steel cinch clamps.

I used it to drill thin aluminum and it did a really good job. I would think cigar boxes should be fine.

Yes, but I would not expect these to perform as well as the much higher priced high speed bits made for commercial applications. Even with the best bits available you may need to replace the bit (maybe more than once) to get a hole through even 1/8 inch steel, especially if you try to go fast or don't use cutting fluid. I assume you know to drill a pilot hole before drilling a large diameter hole.

You can but a Hammer drill would be faster. For small diameter holes with a masonry bit it will work if you take your time.

I don't think so. I have trouble drilling through 1/16 steel. The drills are better for aluminum.

Yes you could use for that. I've used them to "stone" my trigger assembly in my S&W 629.

I used them for thin metal already, without any cutting fluid. I am no expert on cutting fluid, but I would think they would work with it. These are awesome bits, makes me wonder how I ever worked without these!

Sure. You could use them in a hand held drill, but I'm not sure you will be happy with the result. A drill press allows a clean edge to be cut and hand held will probably not get the same result without a jig to stabilize the machine (which could be made).

I would think so. I have a Black & Decker bit set and the drill has had no issues with using them.

Absolutely not! These are for metal or wood. You need to look at Masonry Drill Bits for use in concrete drilling. Those drill bits are carbide tipped and the drilling tip is configured to better withstand the abrasiveness of the concrete.
