Are taps a standard size?
Size Matters Most taps in the UK are said to be a standard size, but it’s worth remembering that the size refers to the way in which the tap fits onto the pipes rather than the size of the taps themselves (basin taps being 1/2″ and bath taps having 3/4″ threads).
What is the actual size of 5 mm?
5mm = just over 3/16 inch. 6mm = almost 1/4 inch. 7mm = almost 9/32 inch (= a bit over 1/4 inch) 8mm = 5/16 inch.

How do you drill a 5 millimeter hole?
With a hand held drill a 5mm hole may start with 3mm and then switch to 4mm. Drill a 4.5 to 4.75 mm hole with a drill press or milling machine then, without changing anything, ream the hole to 5.00 mm. Otherwise, just get a good 5 mm drill bit and and and drill away.
What size drill do you use for tap?
Drill Bit Sizes (Metric) The drill size chart contains tools up to 1.5 inches in diameter,but larger tools are also commonly used.
What size drill bit for tap?
A good tap drill is 90% (± 2 pp) of major diameter for fine threads. Therefore, a size 7⁄16 screw (7⁄16 ≈ 0.437) with 14 threads per inch (coarse) needs a tap drill with a diameter of about 0.371 inches.
What size hole for tap?
Most drill charts recommend a 5/16 drill for a 3/8-16 bolt. Cutting holes that are smaller will leave more material for the tap to cut out, risking tap breakage. Drilling larger holes will result in weaker threads, increasing the possibility of stripping them.
What is the standard size of a drill bit?
Drill bit sizes are written down on paper and etched onto bits as irreducible fractions. So, instead of 78/64 inch, or 1 14/64 inch, the size is noted as 1 7/32 inch. Below is a chart providing the decimal-fraction equivalents that are most relevant to fractional-inch drill bit sizes (that is, 0 to 1 by 64ths).
