Hi everyone,
I'm going to use a roll tap or thread forming tap on some spacers. The material is 1 1/4" round 6061 Aluminum. I'm expected to use a #10-32 go-nogo gage to check the threads. Some time ago, on this board, a few people suggested a roll tap to get the thread fit I need. i know you have to move up in tap drill size, but am at a loss for the tap drill size for a #10-32 thread. Can anyone give me some guidance on this one? Is there a table in the machinist handbook for example?
Thanks all.......
