What is drill size for tapping?
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 the standard size of a tap drill?
PRACTICAL FORMULA – INCH SIZES. TO ESTABLISH TAP DRILL SIZES FOR INCH SIZE ROLL FORMING TAPS TAP DRIlL SIZE = Basic Tap O.D. — (.0068 x % of Thread Desired) Threads Per Inch (EXAMPLE 1/4-20 Tap with 65% Thread) = .250 — (.0068 x 65) = .228 Dia. 20.
How do you calculate drill size for Acme taps?
to calculate tap drill size for acme taps. subtract this amount from the OD. for pitches 10 and greater always add .005″ for the drill size. for pitches less than 10 TPI take the amount from step 1 and multiply x.05 ( 5 %) and add this to the drill size.
What size drill bit do I need for 3/8 thread?
For example, the tap drill for 3/8-16 is 5/16. The pitch is 1/16″. (1 / threads per inch = inches per thread) 3/8 – 1/16 = 5/16. For other sizes that don’t work out so nicely, just use the closest drill size.
How to calculate the required diameter of a tap hole?
65%, use 65 (not.65). (M6) 6mm x 1.00 tapped hole, follow first column down to 1.00 threads, then across to 75% of thread. This figure (.9743), when subtracted from 6mm diameter, is 5.0257, which is the required diameter of hole. See equation: M6 – (1.2990 X 75) = (6 -.9743) = 5.0257mm
