Product Information

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. a b c d e "NC, NF, NEF to one inch in diameter".

The “M” indicates the “metric diameter” of its thread (see tap drill chart below), which in our case is 4 mm. The second number (0.7) is the pitch which corresponds to the distance between two adjacent threads in millimeters. Finally, 20 is the length of the bolt in mm, measured from the tip of the thread to the bottom of the head (with the exception of oval headed bolts).

Fit the die with the sizing information on the die facing up and the top screw fitting into the slot, making sure all the screws are loose to allow the die to sit flush. Example (metric fine): For M7.0×0.5, major minus pitch yields 6.5, which at 92.9% happens to be an example that pushes over the outer bound of the 90% ± 2 pp, but major minus pitch is still valid, although smaller drills (6.3mm, 1⁄ 4, 6.4mm) will work well.

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 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. 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: 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. a b c d e "Tap Drill Sizes and Calculator". newmantools.com .

The drill sizes that are near this are 9.3mm (0.366 in) and letter U (0.368 in). In addition, 9.5mm (0.374 in), and 3⁄ 8 in (0.375 in) will work well, although major minus pitch by itself does not tell you this; but the 85% ± 2 pp guideline supports it.

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. The result is 4.0 mm - 0.8444 mm = 3.1666 mm, which is the necessary diameter for the drilled hole.

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. Based on the desired nominal size, look at the desired standard column to determine the minimum outside diameter of the component for the threads. 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). 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?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 (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.

Standard metric drill sizes used for metric taps of the size indicated in the tap size column. Drill bit diameter 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). 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. Which Drill is Used for Tapping 10 mm Tap?Theoretical percentage of thread should not be relied upon for threads of included angles other than 60 degrees. The tap drill size for the M10 1.5 pitch is 8.5 mm. This is the size of the hole that will be created when using a tap with this drilling speed. It is important to note that this number will change depending on the specific tool being used and the type of metal being drilled. For example, stainless steel [ 1] will require a different size tap drill than carbon steel. Conclusion Place the rod in a vice square and tighten, use a set square to ensure the rod is square in the vice. 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. High performance taps" (PDF). guhring.com .
