How do you calculate tap drill size?

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)

    • How to match a drill to thread tap size?

    A good tap drill is 85% (± 2 pp) of major diameter for coarse threads,and

  • 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

    • 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?
