    Threaded blind holes must be cut to specific depths to properly engage threaded fasteners based on the material. The drilled hole must be deeper than the threads to accommodate the tapping tool taper, and the full threads must extend beyond the required engagement depth to ensure full clamping of parts. A table provides the minimum thread engagement, tap drill depth, and full thread depth for various materials, with depths specified to two decimal places unless otherwise noted.

    ADVANCED MECHANICAL DRAFTING

    THREADED BLIND HOLES


    The length of thread engagement for threaded fasteners is proportional to the diameter of the
    fastener, and the actual proportion is dependent on the material in which the threaded hole is
    cut. The drilled hole must be cut deeper than the threads to accommodate the taper on the end
    of the tapping tool, and the full threads must be cut deeper than the required engagement to
    ensure that the fastener does not bottom out in the threads before it fully clamps the mating
    parts together. In the table below, “D” represents the actual diameter of the thread. All depths
    specified in hole callouts should be held to two (2) decimal places unless otherwise specified.
