wearing taps too fast, looking for 7H and 8H specs, thanks all
(OP)
Would anyone be kind enough as to tell me the min and max dia for a M20x2.5 7H and 8H minor diameter. Tons of trouble looking for this information. Below is all Ive been able to come up with.
-
-
Internal Metric Thread- M Profile Limiting Dimensions, ANSI/AMSE B1.13M-1983 (R1995)
-
-
Basic thread minor diameters D1
designation min max
M20x2.5 6H 17.294 17.744
-
Material is too hard and is wearing out our taps too fast, Im looking to use a larger drill that will hopefully meet the 7H or 8H specs, which I have yet to find. All thanks appreciated.

If anone can find a 7H or 8H spec thanks in advance.
M20 x 2.5 minor diameter.

I took a look at unclesyd's link that was posted and didn't see anything useable. But thanks for your help. All appreciated.

use a larger diameter drill for these
part with the greater 7H and 8H taps.
I do think the drills might have to be
a special order, but certainly cheaper
than the taps. How hard is the material?
greater than 300 BHN? Hard is relative.
What size drill are you using now and
also how deep are you tapping? ie are
you tapping thru or using a bottom tap
in a blind hole?

Is this a through hole application or what? What is the length of thread? What are you presently using, spiral point, spiral flute, bottom tap, plug tap, standard tap, heavy duty? What RPM are you running? Are you running coolant or cutting oil? Coated or uncoated tap?
If it is a through hole have you tried a rollforming tap?

allow beyond the minimum depth? Is this
a one way conversation?

I do not want to recommend anybody but to illustrate the availability of such a tool. Your present tap supplier probably can supply you with such a tool. You didn't tell me the speed you are running but I would probably reduce the RPM from your current setting if the tool is burning up. If you are getting chipping on the cutting edges I would make sure the holes are free from chips before tapping. You may want to check the coolant concentration.
