drill size

[maverick13]

Hello guys,

I need your help for drill sizes.

I'd want to buy the drills used for the most common screw sizes for automag parts. I think they are 6-32 / 8-32 and 10-32.

Here in France, imperial drills are almost impossible to find, so I'm going to look for them on the web.

Could someone tell me the drill size I have to buy for these screws, and the taps needed to repair threadings or tap holes for these screws ?

Thanks

6-32 tap: #36 drill
8-32 tap: #29 drill
10-32 tap: #21 drill

It seems maritool ships worldwide, I'm going to look at their shipping costs.

What kind of tap would you recommend ?

You would need hand taps, both links above will have them.


Maritool is a great company to do business with.
