NOTES

  1. Cutting-tap reference for aluminum, brass and plastics (the source Soft column). The source Hard column for steel, stainless steel and iron specifies 5.4 mm instead. No exact thread-engagement percentage is asserted. Confirm the final hole size with the tap maker for the material, thread class and hole depth. Not for forming taps.
  2. Forming taps require different hole guidance and are not covered here.
  3. Converted figures use exactly 1 in = 25.4 mm; source precision is preserved separately.

Source precision: 5.0 mm. Thread: M6 × 1.0.
