For use of NAG FASTMAN Screw Thread Inserts for common Metric Thread sizes

Calculation of Minimum Drilling & Tapping Depth


P = PITCH in mm
     
Q = Length of minimum through hole or minimum length of full form thread in blind hole. [Actual length of assembled insert equals basic length less ½ Pitch
     
R = Entering portion of Screw (max.) if tang is not removed = Q – 1P
     
S = Drill Depth (min.) [excluding point]
     
  = Q + 4 ½ P (if Plug Taps are used)
     
Or = Q + 2 ½ P (if Bottoming Taps are used)
     
T = Tap Depth (min.)
     
  = Q + 3 ½ P (if Plug Taps are used)
     
Or = Q + 1 ½ P (if Bottoming Taps are used)
