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

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_drill_and_tap_sizes

   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.

4. Drill bit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit

   While the above is a common use of center drill bits, it is a technically incorrect practice and should not be considered for production use. The correct tool to start a traditionally drilled hole (a hole drilled by a high-speed steel (HSS) twist drill bit) is a spotting drill bit (or a spot drill bit, as they are referenced in the U.S.). The ...

5. Tap and die - Wikipedia

   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.

   The company was established in December 1908 [1] as Sharp-Hughes Tool Company when Howard R. Hughes Sr. patented a roller cutter bit that dramatically improved the rotary drilling process for oil drilling rigs.

7. Drill bit shank - Wikipedia

   For example, this allows a 1 ⁄ 2-inch (13 mm) bit to be used in a pistol-grip drill's 3 ⁄ 8-inch (9.5 mm) chuck. One particular type of reduced-shank drill bits are Silver & Deming ( S&D ) bits, whose sets run from 9 ⁄ 16 -inch (14 mm) to 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 -inch (38 mm) drill body diameter with a standard 1 ⁄ 2 -inch (13 mm) reduced shank for ...
