Form Tap Drill

The document provides tables with drill size recommendations for thread forming at various thread percentages for both metric and imperial (UNC/UNF) thread sizes. The metric table lists the pitch size in millimeters along with the recommended drill size in millimeters to achieve threads at 55%, 57.5%, 60%, 62.5% and 65% of the pitch. The imperial table lists tap sizes, threads per inch (TPI) along with the corresponding recommended drill size to achieve 57.5% thread for various sizes.
