NATO Supply Class 3413 refers to Drilling And Tapping Machines, which are categorized under NATO Supply Group 34 for Metalworking Machinery.

Drilling and tapping machines are used in metalworking processes to create holes and threads in various materials such as metal, plastic, and wood. These machines are essential in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and automotive.

NATO Supply Class 3413 includes a wide range of drilling and tapping machines, including:

1. Drill presses: These machines are used for drilling holes in a variety of materials. They typically consist of a rotating spindle, a worktable, and a drill bit. Drill presses can be manual or powered by electricity or hydraulics.

2. Tapping machines: These machines are specifically designed for creating internal threads, known as tapping, in pre-drilled holes. They use a tapping tool or tap to cut threads into the material.

3. Combination drilling and tapping machines: These machines are versatile and can perform both drilling and tapping operations. They are commonly used in industries where efficiency and productivity are crucial.

NATO Supply Class 3413 also includes various accessories and attachments for drilling and tapping machines, such as drill bits, taps, chucks, and workholding devices.

The classification of drilling and tapping machines under NATO Supply Group 34 for Metalworking Machinery indicates that these machines are considered essential equipment for metalworking processes within NATO member countries. This classification helps in standardizing the procurement and supply chain processes for these machines among NATO member nations.

It is important to note that NATO Supply Class 3413 may have specific subcategories or variations depending on the specific requirements and specifications of the machines. These subcategories further classify the drilling and tapping machines based on their size, capacity, power source, and other features.
