Drilling and Tapping Techniques Guide

This document provides instructions for drilling and tapping a mild steel workpiece. It describes calculating the tap drill size based on the tap size and pitch. The process involves marking dimensions on the workpiece, drilling pilot holes, and tapping threads into the holes. Drilling requires using the appropriate drill bits while tapping requires inserting the tap into the pre-drilled holes and rotating it clockwise to cut threads into the steel. Dimensional measurements and perpendicularity checks are made during preparation to ensure accuracy.

Exno:
Date: 2 1/u/21

Aim:
To make drill and tap on given mild steel work piece.

Application:
Fitting industries, Fasteners industries, Automobile industries

Supplied Material Specification:


Mild steel metal plates of dimension is 5Omm x 50mm x ómm

Tools Required:
1) Steel rule 2) Try square 3) Jenny caliper 4) 12" Flat rough File 5) Center punch
6) Bench vice 7) ball peen hammer 8) Drilling M/c 9) 6mm, 8.5 mm 13mm Drill bits
10) 10 mm X 1.5 mm Hand Tap set 11) Adjustable tap wrench 12) Thread pitch gauge

Calculation:
Tap drill size = tap size - pitch size

= 10 mm - 1.5 mm =8.5 mmn
