How to use a drill and tap chart?

The following is an illustration of how best you can use these charts to make your guides:

• First, you need to create a hole inside the material.
• Using your tap and charts to confirm the correct size, re-drill the hole while creating threads inside.
• Put the square of the tap above the holder and tighten.
• Place the tip of the tap into the hole in a perpendicular direction and gently press inside.

How do you calculate tap drill size?

Tap Drill Calculator

• Only enter numbers in the fields.
• Do not enter any units of measurement.
• You can enter fractions. (i.e. 1/4)
• If you don't know the %, just enter 70 Example: 1/2 - 20 Thread
• 1/2 = Major diameter
• 20 = Threads / Inch (TPI)

Standard Tap features locally-brewed draft beer. Our food menu both complements the beer and expands the notion of what tavern food can be. We use only the best available produce, poultry, meats and seafood -- much of it from area farms and local vendors - to create fresh, seasonal dish…… Is the lunch menu different from the dinner menu?

What size drill do I need for a tap?

A good tap drill is 90% (± 2 pp) of major diameter for fine threads. For metric V threads, the concept of major minus pitch (i.e., the major or widest diameter of the intended screw in millimeters minus the pitch of the threads of that screw in millimeters per thread) yields a good tap drill diameter.

What is a tap and drill chart?

The tap size chart provides a list of standard size taps, specifying the diameter and thread spacing, for fractional, metric, and screw sizes. The decimal equivalents of the diameters are shown in both English and Metric units.

What do the numbers on a tap mean?

They are the grooves or valleys cut into the body of the tap. Higher numbers of flutes increase the strength of the tap and reduce space or chip flow. Thread size is the number of Threads Per Inch (TPI) which is measured along the length of the tap. Metric sizes are referred to as thread pitch.

How do you read a drill index?

Typical drill bits have markings somewhere on the shank above the threads. It's small, but it usually has the drill-bit diameter stamped into the metal; the number is written in fractions. For example, the markings may read: 1/4-inch, 3/6-inch or 25/32.

What is a 3/8 drill?

This answer is not useful. Show activity on this post. 3/8 inch is the maximum shaft diameter that fits in the chuck. That doesn't mean you can't drill larger holes, but the part the drill chuck grips has to be this size or smaller. (Some higher-powered drills have half -inch chucks.)

What size is a number 7 drill bit?

What is tap and die chart?

The tap and die chart corresponds to different drill sizes and diameters. All you have to do to read it is to match the size of drill with the right characteristics like the thread count for every inch and the material type of a drill. Taps cut internal threads to suit different applications.

How do drill and tap charts work?

Drill and tap charts rely on comparing the size of a drill bit in the chart, to figure out what drill bit makes the right sized hole. After this, manufacturers then drill the hole of the right length, put the tap, and start making the guides. When they twist the taps it carves out guides of the right size. It also ensures a snug fit ...

What is a drill chart?

A drill and tap chart is what specifies the right size of drill bit that one can use to create the correct sized opening that would complement tap dimensions. A tap drill chart is key in matching pairs of female and male thread that tightly secure together. Often it is the corresponding dies and taps that you see together when buying either ones. However, the particular drill chart is essential for sizes of the drills only.

What is a taper tap?

Taper taps are used to cut threads that travel through a hole. Plug taps work on threads that only halfway go through a hole. Machine screw taps are the smallest you will find and are meant for small diameter holes. You can easily find the size of a hole that you have to drill, by going through the chart.

What is a die for a screw?

The die is required to make a male screw thread and has a tiny split on its side that allows for adjustment of the screw, it also allows it to be a bit altered for different degrees of sharpness and different materials.

What is the difference between a round rod and a drilled hole?

The only difference is that they are applied on a round rod and not a drilled hole. The size of the die that you pick out has to be the same size as the rod. For instance if you want a rod that is 3/8”, your die has to be of the same size.

Getting Started

Before we start cutting our threads there are a few factors that we need to know to guarantee we cut correctly:

Threads types

In the charts, you will see many different abbreviations for threads, knowing the meaning of each will help you determine which size of tap to use for your application. Below are the meanings of the various abbreviations and a short description of each. For more information read our articles on thread design and thread standards.

Tap and drill sizes

The chart below is used for tapping female threads into a component. First, identify what screw size you will be using. This will correlate to the tap size. Based on this size, you should use the corresponding drill size for the hole.

Pipe thread drilled hole sizes

The chart below is used for creating male threads on a component to create a bolt or threaded pipe. First, identify what size threads you want on the outside of the component with the thread nominal size column. Then, based on the thread standard/type that you need you can determine the minimum outside diameter of the component for the threads.

Standard tap and drill chart (inch)

The tap and drill below is for standard gauge threads (inch). Simply look for the correct TPI and the desired tap percentage. From this and the corresponding outer diameter, you can determine the correct tap and drill sizes. The two formulas below are for calculating the needed drilled hole size (inch).

Metric tap and drill chart

The tap and drill chart below is for Metric threads. Simply look for the correct TPI and the desired tap percentage. From this and the corresponding outer diameter, you can determine the correct tap and drill sizes. The two formulas below are for calculating the needed drilled hole size (metric).
