Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] 15/16-16 bore size

The minor diamter should be .8608 so the 15/16-16 TPI tap should do the job.
.862 should be fine. I have tapped quite a few .

Subject: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] 15/16-16 bore size


I'm designing parts for my cnc router to accept Thompson ball nuts with
a 15/16-16 thread. It was obvious to use a 13/16 bore but upon
checking my tap won't start in that size hole. Boring to .862 appears
to allow the tap to start but I am wondering if there is a standard tap
hole size for 15/16-16??? Has anyone else tapped holes for ball nuts?
Thoughts????

Thanks,

Jack
