So what’s the right way to choose a thread percentage and how do we get from there to a proper drill size? General Guidelines for Choosing Thread Percentage Most don’t even know how much clearance they should be leaving. But, G-Wizard will calculate the clearance for you. Just one more way it’s saving you time and trouble. Hey, What About that Free Drill Bit Size Chart? Better Thread Gaging. Form taps work by cold forming the metal in the hole. Since no chips are made, the likelihood of producing oversized threads is far less than for Cut Taps.Wood Shank Hole, #7 Pilot, Hard-wood, #8 Pilot, Hard-wood, #10 Pilot, Soft-wood, #11 Pilot, Soft-wood

Special event, club or membership offers, third party promotions or prices not available to the general public Blind Holes are particularly prone to breaking taps. It’s harder to clear the chips for one thing, but the other thing is machinists don’t leave enough clearance at the bottom of the hole.

As a machinist, you’re no doubt aware of the many advantages Form Taps have over Cut Taps: But, before you do, wouldn’t you like to hear about something that’s much better in every way? Something that’ll make it much less likely you’ll break a tap? Something a little more modern than a simple chart?

So go ahead, give G-Wizard free trial, a try. You’ll be surprised at all the time it saves you on things like Tap Drill Sizes, not to mention the longer tool life, better surface finish, and shorter cycle times you’ll get from better Feeds and Speeds. Bonus: Depth Clearance When Tapping Blind Holes 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. Here you go, Metric and Imperial sizes are called out in the “Use” column in the chart below. It’s even an NPT Tap Drill Chart: To calculate tapping drill size for metric threads subtract the pitch from the major diameter, Select the next larger standard drill size.
