What size drill do you use for tap?
Looking at the "Tap Drill Chart" section at the bottom, they recommend an "F" drill for a 5/16"-18 fastener. Then, looking up above at the "Decimal Equivalent Chart" section, an "F" drill measures 0.257", about halfway between 1/4" and 17/64". Keeping this in view, how do you determine tap drill size?
What is the drill size for a 6 48 tap?
The drill size chart contains tools up to 1.5 inches in diameter, but larger tools are also commonly used. For each thread count, the equivalent thread pitch is provided and for metric taps, the approximate thread count is shown based on the pitch.
What are the standard drill sizes?
What are the standard drill sizes? Range 1 (R1) is shortest in length, more common for sizing production tubing or casing, and ranges from 18 to 22 ft. Range 2 (R2) is considered the standard length for drill pipe and ranges from 27 to 31 ft. Range 3 (R3) is common in casing and also deployed in deep water drilling applications.

How do I know what size drill to tap?
As a rule of thumb, for Metric threads, the tapping drill can be calculated by subtracting the pitch from the diameter of the thread. eg for an M5x0. 75 thread the tapping drill is 5-0.75mm = 4.25mm. For Imperial (inch) threads the tapping drill size is calculated in the same way, diameter minus pitch.

Is M10 a 10mm?
If the size is M10 x 25, that would mean that the diameter is 10 mm. Since there is no thread pitch listed, the fastener is assumed to have a coarse thread. The 25 indicated a length of 25 mm. A matching nut would be labeled M10, which also doesn't require a thread pitch since it's a course thread fastener.

How can you tell if a drill bit is 6mm?
Check the Shank 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 number 7 drill bit?
A number 7 drill bit is 0.2010 inches. As a fraction, the 0.2010 decimal is 201/1000.
What are the sizes of drill bits?
Metric drill bit sizes: diameter of the bit in terms of standard metric lengths.#N#Letter drill bit sizes: the sizes are indicated in letters, from size A (the smallest) to size Z (the largest).#N#Number drill bit sizes: the sizes are indicated in numbers, range from size 80 (the smallest) to size 1 (the largest). Number and letter sizes are commonly used for twist drill bits rather than other drill forms.#N#Fractional drill bit sizes: the sizes are written as irreducible fractions. ANSI B94.11M-1979 sets size standards for jobber-length straight-shank twist drill bits from 1/64 inch through 1 inch in 1/64 inch increments.#N#Decimal drill bit sizes: written in number with 4 decimal places, equivalent to fractional-inch drill bit sizes
What is the difference between tapping and drilling?
Drilling is a process of producing a hole while tapping is a technique used to cut a thread inside a hole, so the drill bit and tapping tool are often used in sequential to fabricate CNC parts with thread holes.
