Product Information

The major minus pitch also works for inch-based threads, but you must first determine the pitch by looking at the number of treads per inch (TPI; for example, 1⁄ 20 = 0.050 and 1⁄ 13 ≈ 0.077), and your result will only land near a tap drill size (not directly on one). This size can also be used for threads that are finer than those made with an M12 tap drill size. The main advantage of using an M10 tap drill size is that it allows for a more precise thread to be produced. In addition, it produces less wear on the taps themselves.

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). The drill sizes that are near this are letter U (0.368 in; 84.2%), 9.5mm (0.374 in; 85.6%), and 3⁄ 8 in (0.375 in; 85.8%); any of these will work well.Regarding the proportion of tap drill to thread major diameter, for standard V threads ( ISO V thread and UTS V thread), there are several rules of thumb with strong predictive power: The drill sizes that are near this are 6.3mm (90%), 1⁄ 4 in (90.7%), 6.4mm (91.4%), and 6.5mm (92.9%); any of these will work well.

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. What is the Tap Drill Size for the M10 1.5 Pitch? The result is 4.0 mm - 0.8444 mm = 3.1666 mm, which is the necessary diameter for the drilled hole. a b c d e "Continuous Drill Bit Sizes".

For example M4x0.5mm. This would be referred to as "M4 fine", but some people would refer to any M4 pitch less than 0.70mm as M4 fine, so take care!Place the rod in a vice square and tighten, use a set square to ensure the rod is square in the vice.
