Tapping for 10-32 - The Hobby-Machinist
2013年11月24日 · Starrett's tap and drill card (which every one of us should carry in his shirt pocket,) says the tap drill for a 10-32 screw is a No. 21, .159 diameter. 5/32, .156, is just a bit tighter, Always use a lubricant when tapping, even if it's beeswax. (No 20 is .002 larger yet).
Clearance Drill For 10-32 | The Hobby-Machinist
2013年3月25日 · I use a lot of 10-32 screws. The diameter of this size screw is published as 0.190 nominally, Although some seem smaller. Based on this nominal diameter they will not fit through a 3/16 (0.188) hole. What diameter do you use to drill clearance holes for these? Is there a metric size that works...
What Size Rod To What Size Die - The Hobby-Machinist
2015年6月30日 · None of this is a well kept secret. The outside diameter of the thread is listed under major diameter. In actual practice, most threads are made with a smaller major diameter than the nominal size. To make a 1/4" bolt, you start with a rod at least .005" smaller than the nominal size, .250". It depends on the percentage of thread you want.
collet size drill bits? | The Hobby-Machinist
2012年11月21日 · I seem to drill a lot of 10-32 tap holes at 0.159 #21 drill which is 0.0285 smaller than the 3/16 collet. I didn't think I could go that far undersized with the R8 but I haven't tried either. that would be the simplest solution if the R8 can grip to the 32nd below it.

Tap Size Question? | The Hobby-Machinist
2021年2月14日 · Macardoso, A perfect example of why we should be on the metric system! To find the tap drill size for a metric fastener, subtract the thread pitch from the nominal screw diameter. Quick, simple, works with fine or course threads. 6mm screw with a pitch of 1mm = 5 mm tap drill. Only one measuring system used no matter how small or large the screw.
What diameter rod to start with, for a given sized thread die?
2022年11月25日 · The depth of thread for 60 degree threads, from the metric system, is to subtract the thread "pitch" from the outer diameter. For a #8 screw, the "tap drill" size is the major diameter (0.164') minus the pitch, 1/32, 0.03125" or 0.13275". Lacking that exact size, using a 0.133" drill will suffice.

10-32 versus M5??? - The Hobby-Machinist
2013年3月25日 · The pitch of a 10-32 in mm is .794mm. The pitch of a M5 coarse is .800. These are too close to see visually. If you engage a metric screw in a 10-32 socket it will make multiple revolutions before binding. For a short thread like a nut you may not even notice. Also, the socket on my 10-32 cap screws accept a 4mm hex key perfectly!
Drill press to mill conversions - The Hobby-Machinist
2013年1月15日 · The spindle shaft was small enough that I did not want to bore it for the draw bar. So, on this conversion I’m using a lock-screw retainer. I drill and tap a 10-32 hole in the bottom collar of the spindle shaft. I then seat the MT2 collet and center drill about a 1/8”’ deep hole in the Morse taper. I then use a 60[SUP]o [/SUP]chamfer on ...
