Common questions
What size drill do I use to tap 5/16" - 24 UNF?
Use a 6.90 drill. This is the standard tap drill for 5/16" - 24 UNF; for hard materials or deep threads a slightly larger drill reduces tapping torque.
What is the pitch of 5/16" - 24 UNF?
The pitch of 5/16" - 24 UNF is 1.058, meaning the thread advances that distance in one full turn.
