Tapping Drill Sizes

 

I couldn't find this for a topic a while back, so by sharing it here I might remember where to look next time!

 

It's the cleanest and easiest chart I've found, everything from small to large - Simples  :-)

I have the info on the back of one of my steel rules and also inside my top box.

 

I can always find my top box.

 

I also have a metric tap set that comes with the correct drill sizes. (may be called cheating).

It's overkill but this book has been recommended by a number of popular machinists which will cover these kind of questions:

I have a poster size chart on the machine tool cupboard door. I probably refer back to it 3 - 4 times a day - on a slow day !
