METRIC THREADS FOR FORMING TAPS
Basic principle:
Drill bit diameter = External thread diameter minus 0,5 x pitch
Values given in the table were calculated according to this principle
Thread designation Pitch [mm] Tap drill bit diameter [mm]

Given diameters determine only output values.

Tap drill bit diameter in the case of forming taps depends on:

  • machined material
  • outline of the thread
  • depth of the hole
  • wall thicnkess
  • necessary internal thread diameter

Diameters in parentheses do not belong to normal ISO diameters.
