What size drill for M10 roll tap?
Hole sizes for Metric threads and tap limit of TAFLET
| Nominal size | pitch | Percentage of thread engagement hole diameter (mm) |
|---|---|---|
| M9 | 0.75 | 8.57 |
| 0.5 | 8.72 | |
| M10 | 1.5 | 9.15 |
| 1.25 | 9.29 |
What is the formula for finding the tap drill size for a form tap?
Tap-drill diameter equals nominal diameter minus thread pitch. For example, drill size for a 3/8-16 thread is 0.375 0.0625 (pitch) = 0.312 in. in diameter, and for a 10-32 thread, the drill diameter is 0.190 0.032 = 0.159 in. (a #21 drill).
What size drill do I need for a tap?
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 are the drills size forms?
| Tap size | Drill size |
|---|---|
| 5/8-11 | 37/64 |
| 5/8-18 | 19/32 |
| 3/4-10 | 45/64 |
| 3/4-16 | 23/32 |
What is roll tap?
Roll taps FORM a thread by material deformation, as opposed to cutting the material and therefore not producing any chips. Roll taps produce stronger and cleaner threads than cutting taps as the lack of swarf means that the tap cannot break as a result of the flutes clogging.
How does a roll form tap work?
Unlike most CNC cutting tools, Thread Forming Taps, otherwise known as Form Taps, Forming Taps, or Roll Taps, work by molding the workpiece rather than cutting it. Because of this, Form Taps do not contain any flutes, as there is no cutting action taking place, nor are there any chips to evacuate.

How is tap thread size measured?
Use a ruler to measure across the thread diameter where the connector would attach. Include all the thread in your measurement. Now you’ve got your tap thread measurement, you can easily work out which tap connector is compatible for your tap.
