Useful formulas for thread minors

Formula for finding the thread minor
This example is in metric (mm/25.4=inch)

P = PITCH
65 = 65% OF THREAD

P / 25.4 x 65 / 76.98 - MAJOR = THREAD MINOR

 EXAMPLE M10 x 1.5 TAP
10mm is the major and 1.5 is the pitch
1.5 / 25.4 x 65 / 76.98 - .3937 = .343 (drill size) 

Formula for finding
any tap feed and speed
when running in feed per minute (G94)

 

M10 x 1.5 TAP
10 / 25.4 = .3937 tap major
20 SFM x 3.82 / .3937 = S194

 1.5 pitch
1.5 / 25.4 = .05905
Now get your RPM's 194
.05905 x 194 = 11.4
M10 x 1.5 tap will run at  S194 and F11.4

 Formula for finding
any tap feed and speed
when running in feed per revolution(G95)

 

M10 x 1.5 TAP
10 / 25.4 = .3937 tap major
20 SFM x 3.82 / .3937 = S194

 1.5 pitch
1.5 / 25.4 = .05905
M10 x 1.5 tap will run at  S194 and F.059
