Product Information

Keep turning until all the way through the material and most of the way through the thread, there should be no resistance once the cut has been made the full distance through the material when turning in or out using the tap wrench. The following chart describes how to determine the size of unified male threads when making a bolt or threaded pipe. Example (inch, fine): For 7⁄ 16-20 (same diameter as the previous example, but this time with 20 threads per inch, which is considered fine), 0.437 in × 0.90 = 0.393 in (i.e., if the threads are to be fine, then a slightly larger diameter drill bit should be used before tapping the hole for the screw). Holding the level and square to the material turn the tap wrench until the first cut into the material has been made. Fit the die with the sizing information on the die facing up and the top screw fitting into the slot, making sure all the screws are loose to allow the die to sit flush.

Once through the material using this tap repeat the process using the tap with 2 grooves and then finally again using the tap with no grooves.a b c d e "Continuous Drill Bit Sizes".

Keep turning until the depth of thread is achieved, there should be no resistance once the cut has been made level and squre to the rod Based on the desired nominal size, look at the desired standard column to determine the minimum outside diameter of the component for the threads. A dull bit can cause the tap to slip, leading to an uneven or damaged thread. For best results, use a new or freshly sharpened drill bit when tapping 10mm holes.

For example, a screw with a pitch of 1/20 in (20 threads per inch) has a pitch of 0.050 in and a 1⁄ 13 in pitch (13 threads per inch) has a pitch of 0.077 in. Your result will only land near a tap drill size (not directly on one). The drill sizes that are near this are 15⁄ 64 in (85%), 6.0mm (85.7%), and 6.1mm (87.1%); any of these will work well.

For both of these rules of thumb (85%/90% and major minus pitch), the tap drill size yielded is not necessarily the only possible one, but it is a good one for general use. Some prefer to use somewhat arbitrary but reliable formulas like: “Dtap = Nominal Diameter – Thread Pitch”. This formula works for both metric and imperial units, and for all 60-degree threads (all ISO, DIN, UTS, UNC, UNS, and UNF bolts). The first tap drill chart below is in mm and the next in inches. Both are available as a printable tap drill chart PDF as well. Tap Drill Chart (mm and inches) a b c d e "Tap Drill Sizes for Universal and M-Profile Screw Threads". precisiontwistdrill.com .

Theoretical percentage of thread should not be relied upon for threads of included angles other than 60 degrees. The drill sizes that are near this are 9.3mm (0.366 in) and letter U (0.368 in). In addition, 9.5mm (0.374 in), and 3⁄ 8 in (0.375 in) will work well, although major minus pitch by itself does not tell you this; but the 85% ± 2 pp guideline supports it.

The drill sizes that are near this are 25⁄ 64 (0.391 in; 89.4%), 10mm (0.393 in; 90%), and letter X (0.397 in; 90.8%); any of these will work well.The “M” indicates the “metric diameter” of its thread (see tap drill chart below), which in our case is 4 mm. The second number (0.7) is the pitch which corresponds to the distance between two adjacent threads in millimeters. Finally, 20 is the length of the bolt in mm, measured from the tip of the thread to the bottom of the head (with the exception of oval headed bolts). Example (metric, coarse): For M7.0×1.0 (an intended screw with a diameter of 7.0mm and a pitch of 1mm between each thread, which is considered coarse), 7.0 mm × 0.85 = 5.95 mm.
