Product Information

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 letter W (0.386 in) and 25⁄ 64 in (0.391 in). In addition, 10mm (0.393 in), and letter X (0.397 in) will work well, although major minus pitch by itself does not tell you this; but the 90% ± 2 pp guideline supports it. a b c d e "Decimal Equivalents".

Turn the handle of the wrench to wideren the jaws, fit the threading tap with with single groove to start. Unfortunately, due to the shape it can’t create a thread all the way to the end of the hole. So next comes the bottoming tap that has the capacity to do this. However, the bottoming tap cannot start the threading on an uncut hole, so it can only take part in the cutting process as the second or third tap. The taper tap is only used in certain situations such as when the material is very hard or the hole is too small. The taper tap features a smooth diameter transition that allows for a less aggressive cutting action. This minimises the risk of damaging the drilled hole. If the taper needs to go first, the intermediate tap follows second and the thread is finished with the bottoming tap. Thread Geometry And Drilling The Hole Standard metric drill sizes used for metric taps of the size indicated in the tap size column. Drill bit diameterSmaller than M4 you readily risk breaking taps in your workpiece (taps are harder than drill bits, so this might mean you've ruined your workpiece).

When it comes to tapping holes, the size of the drill bit is important. If the hole is too small, the tap will break. If the hole is too large, the fit will be sloppy and the threading will be weak. For a 10 mm tap, the ideal drill bit size is 11/32″. This will create a tight fit that is strong and durable. However, it is also important to use a sharp drill bit. 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.

It is defined as the major diameter of the thread in millimeters minus the pitch of the thread. The M10 tap drill size is used for both metric and imperial units of measurement. The taps used to create the threads are also marked with the M10 designation. The M10 tap drill size is generally used for holes that are 10 mm in diameter. As per the ISO metric screw thread standard, the thread depth should be 0.614 x pitch, which is why a smaller pitch number also results in a lower thread depth value. Now engineers can sit down and manually calculate the right tap drill. Or they can consult a tap drill chart like those found in the next section. 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. 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. 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.
