List of drill and tap sizes

Summary

Below is a comprehensive drill and tap size chart for all drills and taps, imperial and metric, up to 36.5 millimetres (1.44 in) in diameter.

Schematic of a machine tap

In manufactured parts, holes with female screw threads are often needed; they accept male screws to facilitate the building and fastening of a finished assembly. One of the most common ways to produce such threaded holes is to drill a hole of appropriate size with a drill bit and then tap it with a tap. Each standard size of female screw thread has one or several corresponding drill bit sizes that are within the range of appropriate size—slightly larger than the minor diameter of the mating male thread, but smaller than its pitch and major diameters. Such an appropriately sized drill is called a tap drill for that size of thread, because it is a correct drill to be followed by the tap. Many thread sizes have several possible tap drills, because they yield threads of varying thread depth between 50% and 100%. Usually thread depths of 60% to 75% are desired.

People frequently use a chart such as this to determine the proper tap drill for a certain thread size or the proper tap for an existing hole.

Rules of thumb edit

Regarding the proportion of tap drill to thread major diameter, for standard V threads (ISO V thread and UTS V thread), there are several rules of thumb with strong predictive power:

  • A good tap drill is 85% (± 2 pp) of major diameter for coarse threads, and 90% (± 2 pp) of major diameter for fine threads. [1]
  • 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.
    The major minus pitch technique also works for inch-based threads, but you must first calculate the pitch by converting the fraction of threads-per-inch (TPI) into a decimal. For example, a screw with a pitch of 1/20 in (20 threads per inch) has a pitch of 0.050 in and a 113 in pitch (13 threads per inch) has a pitch of 0.077 in. Your result will only land near a tap drill size (not directly on one).
  • For both of these rules of thumb (85%/90% and major minus pitch), the tap drill size yielded is not necessarily the only possible one, but it is a good one for general use.
  • The 85% and 90% rules works best in the range of 14–1 in (6.4–25.4 mm), the sizes most important on many shop floors. Some sizes outside that range have different ratios.

Below, these guidelines are explored with examples.

Examples edit

    • Example (inch, coarse): For size 716 (this is the diameter of the intended screw in fraction form)-14 (this is the number of threads per inch; 14 is considered coarse), 0.437 in × 0.85 = 0.371 in. Therefore, a size 716 screw (716 ≈ 0.437) with 14 threads per inch (coarse) needs a tap drill with a diameter of about 0.371 inches.
      • The drill sizes that are near this are letter U (0.368 in; 84.2%), 9.5 mm (0.374 in; 85.6%), and 38 in (0.375 in; 85.8%); any of these will work well.
    • Example (inch, fine): For 716-20 (same diameter as the previous example, but this time with 20 threads per inch, which is considered fine), 0.437 in × 0.90 = 0.393 in (i.e., if the threads are to be fine, then a slightly larger diameter drill bit should be used before tapping the hole for the screw).
      • The drill sizes that are near this are 2564 (0.391 in; 89.4%), 10 mm (0.393 in; 90%), and letter X (0.397 in; 90.8%); any of these will work well.
    • Example (metric, coarse): For M7.0×1.0 (an intended screw with a diameter of 7.0 mm and a pitch of 1 mm between each thread, which is considered coarse), 7.0 mm × 0.85 = 5.95 mm.
      • The drill sizes that are near this are 1564 in (85%), 6.0 mm (85.7%), and 6.1 mm (87.1%); any of these will work well.
    • Example (metric, fine): For M7.0×0.5, 7.0 mm × 0.90 = 6.30.
      • The drill sizes that are near this are 6.3 mm (90%), 14 in (90.7%), 6.4 mm (91.4%), and 6.5 mm (92.9%); any of these will work well.
  • For metric V threads, major minus pitch yields a good tap drill diameter.
    • Example (metric, coarse): For M7.0 × 1.0, 7.0 − 1.0 = 6.0
    • Example (metric, fine): For M7.0 × 0.5, 7.0 − 0.5 = 6.5
      • (The 85% coarse, 90% fine guideline, within its effective range, matches this in net effect)
    • The major minus pitch also works for inch-based threads, but you must first determine the pitch by looking at the number of treads per inch (TPI; for example, 120 = 0.050 and 113 ≈ 0.077), and your result will only land near a tap drill size (not directly on one).
    • Example (inch coarse): For 716-14, 1 in ÷ 14 = 0.071 in; 0.437 in − 0.071 in = 0.366 in;
      • The drill sizes that are near this are 9.3 mm (0.366 in) and letter U (0.368 in). In addition, 9.5 mm (0.374 in), and 38 in (0.375 in) will work well, although major minus pitch by itself does not tell you this; but the 85% ± 2 pp guideline supports it.
    • Example (inch fine): For 716-20, 1 in ÷ 20 = 0.050 in; 0.437 in − 0.050 in = 0.387 in;
      • The drill sizes that are near this are letter W (0.386 in) and 2564 in (0.391 in). In addition, 10 mm (0.393 in), and letter X (0.397 in) will work well, although major minus pitch by itself does not tell you this; but the 90% ± 2 pp guideline supports it.
  • For both of these rules of thumb (85%/90% and major minus pitch), the tap drill size yielded is not necessarily the only possible one, but it is a good one for general use.
    • Example (metric coarse): For M7.0×1.0, major minus pitch yields 6.0, but 6.1 also works well.
    • Example (metric fine): For M7.0×0.5, major minus pitch yields 6.5, which at 92.9% happens to be an example that pushes over the outer bound of the 90% ± 2 pp, but major minus pitch is still valid, although smaller drills (6.3 mm, 14, 6.4 mm) will work well.
