2. Drill bit sizes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit_sizes

   Drill bit sizes are written 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).

3. List of drill and tap sizes - Wikipedia

   Example (inch, coarse): For size 7 ⁄ 16 (this is the diameter of the intended screw in fraction form)-14 (this is the number of threads per inch; 14 is considered coarse), 0.437 in × 0.85 = 0.371 in. 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.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_hole

   For standard wood screws, special pilot drill bits are manufactured to produce the correct hole profile in a single operation, rather than needing several different drill bit sizes and depths. [ 3 ] Screws driven into concrete must have the appropriate size pilot hole, or they will either break on insertion, strip the hole, or not provide the ...

   where is the tap drill size, is the major diameter of the tap (e.g., 3 ⁄ 8 in for a 3 ⁄ 8-16 tap), and / is the thread pitch (1 ⁄ 16 inch in the case of a 3 ⁄ 8-16 tap). For a 3 ⁄ 8 -16 tap, the above formula would produce 5 ⁄ 16 , which is the correct tap drill diameter.

   In Japan, the male sizes are often designated as DTC-20, DTC-27, DTC-40 (discontinued) and DTC-45 corresponding to a respective screw head size of 3.2 mm, 4.6 mm, 6.4 mm and 7.7 mm; with the size of the screw measured across the widest portion of the mating part of the head. The most common sizes in use for consumer electronics are DTC-20 and ...
