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 |
