Imperial tap drill chart

Tap drill diameter for every imperial thread in the catalog, #0-80 to 5/8-11, coarse and fine pitch. Need the hole a screw passes through instead? See the imperial clearance hole chart. Tap any size for its full page: heat-set pockets, nut pockets, head recesses and 3D-printing numbers.

All values inches; tap drill highlighted. Pitch sets the tap drill. Clearance hole sizes are on the <a href="/charts/imperial-clearance-holes/">imperial clearance hole chart</a>.
These are standard reference numbers. Every machine prints and cuts a little differently - set a hole to Ø5.00 and it might land at Ø4.95. In the FitCheck app you calibrate your machine, and the clearance and pocket diameters here shift to match it - plus tolerance bands and full offline use.

Metric and imperial clearances follow published mechanical-engineering references · heat-set pockets per CNC Kitchen · bearing housing seats follow published fit tables. Reference only - verify before you cut.
