About the tap drill chart

Tapping drill sizes for metric coarse and fine threads.

How it works

For metric threads the tapping drill is close to the nominal diameter minus the pitch, for example M10 × 1.5 takes an 8.5 mm drill.

Questions

Can you plasma cut tapped holes?

No. Plasma cuts the profile; threaded holes are drilled and tapped afterwards, so mark them on the drawing.
