System-One offers the first real advance in 50 years of drill and tapping cast iron and steel. The system combines specially designed high speed Machine Steel Taps with a range of Fine Tolerance Holesaws on a single cutting shaft, that does not require a pilot drill. The combination ensures the minimum amount of metal is cut and the speed of the cut is increased dramatically without compromising accuracy.

ALH System One: Drills & Taps HOLESAWS
  • Holesaws cut cast iron and steel at high speed through to 2½" diameter.


  • High level of accuracy while inexpensive to replace.


  • Designed for hand or powered operations.


  • Magnetic coupon retention system.
TAPS
  • No power is required for taps on cast iron or steel to 2½" diameter.


  • Skip-tooth design eliminates unreasonable tapping force on larger sizes.


  • Tap depth sets automatically.


  • Tap follows Holesaw in a single operation.


  • Unequalled accuracy and thread quality.


Hand tapping in cast iron always produces a significantly better thread form, but often results in excessive tapping loads.

To solve this, the System-One has specially engineered the larger taps with a Skip-tooth design that reduces the load by half yet is capable of producing an extremely high quality thread form by hand.
  • Cheater bars are never required, even when cutting a 2½" taper with a course 8 threads per inch.


  • Taps are loaded onto the drill shaft behind the holesaw cutter so changeover time is eliminated.


  • The result is a completed 2½" drill and tap in cast iron in seven minutes or less.
