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. 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 M10 tap drill size is a standard used for machining threads. 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. 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. The table below shows the drill hole sizes for standard metric (coarse) threads and metric fine threads. Metric & Metric Fine Tap Drill Chart Øa b c d e "Continuous Drill Bit Sizes". Archived from the original on 19 July 2006 . Retrieved 29 August 2006. 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.

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. Theoretical percentage of thread should not be relied upon for threads of included angles other than 60 degrees. Tighten up the screw on the die holder to keep the die in place, ensure all the screws fit in the indences in the die.The major minus pitch technique also works for inch-based threads, but you must first calculate the pitch by converting the fraction of threads-per-inch (TPI) into a decimal. 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). a b c d e "Decimal Equivalents". Ohio State University. Archived from the original on 2 September 2006 .

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).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. Place the rod in a vice square and tighten, use a set square to ensure the rod is square in the vice. If you’re someone who likes to do things yourself, then you know that having the right information is critical. That’s why knowing the M10 tap drill size is important – it’ll help you get the job done right. In this blog post, we’ll explain what an M10 tap is and give you the drill size so you can get started on your next project. Let’s dive in. What is the M10 Tap Drill Size? Based on the desired nominal size, look at the desired standard column to determine the minimum outside diameter of the component for the threads. Holding the level and square to the material turn the tap wrench until the first cut into the material has been made.
