General Drill Bit Information

Tap Drill Sizes for Cutting Taps
See pages 2283-2284 for drill bit sizes for thread-forming and pipe taps. For tap sizes not shown use the following formula: Tap
Major Dia. minus One Pitch Length=Tap Drill Size. For example for 3⁄8⬙-16 Thread: 0.375−0.0625=0.3125. Tap drill size 0.3125=5⁄16⬙,
