About
The tap drill chart machinists actually reach for, in your pocket. Pick a thread and the right drill appears at a size you can read from across the bench, with its decimal size and thread percentage.
ONE TAP, THE RIGHT DRILL
• 1/4-20 is a #7. M8 x 1.25 is 6.8 mm. Every common thread, answered instantly.
• Number, letter, fractional and metric drills checked together, closest first.
• Next size up and down, each with its thread percentage.
THE WHOLE CHART
• UNC and UNF from #0 to 1 inch, ISO metric coarse and fine from M1.6 to M30.
• Search, quick picks or browse the full chart like the one on the shop wall.
CUT AND FORM TAPS
• Form taps need a larger hole. Switch with one tap.
• Set your own thread percentage for hard or deep holes.
CLEARANCE HOLES
• Close, normal and free fit for the same fastener, from ISO 273 and published inch charts.
IDENTIFY A THREAD
• Measure a bolt with calipers and a pitch gauge and see which threads it can be.
• Look-alikes like M8 and 5/16 are flagged, so you check the pitch before you tap.
MORE
• Find a drill by size: type 0.257 or 17/64 and get the drill.
• Your drill set: every answer snaps to the drills you actually own.
• Rigid tapping feed for your spindle speed.
• Shows the formula behind every number, so you can check it.
BUILT FOR THE SHOP
• Works offline. No account. No ads.
• Large, high-contrast numbers and big buttons for gloved hands.
• The screen stays on while you work.
