NOTES
- 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.
- Forming taps require different hole guidance and are not covered here.
- Converted figures use exactly 1 in = 25.4 mm; source precision is preserved separately.
Source precision: 5.0 mm. Thread: M6 × 1.0.
