Bottoming tap - not tapered but chamfered at the end for one thread. When tapping a blind hole use a tapered tap them a bottoming tap. - 2Define tap drill sizeThe drill size that will leave the proper amount on material in the hole for a tap to cut a thread.
- 3Use the formula and calculate the tap drill size for: 1/2 inch -----13 UNC tapeformula
TDS = D - 1/N
0.5-(1/13)=0.423" - 4Use the formula and calculate the tap drill size for: M 42 ---4.5 mm tapFormula
TDS = D - Pitch
42mm - 4.5mm = 37.5mm - 5Why should care be used when a hole is being tapped?Because a tap is hard and brittle and can break easily.
- 6Explain the procedure for correcting a tap that has not started squarely.Remove the tap from the hole and restart by applying pressure in the direction from which the tap leans.

- 9For what purpose are threading dies used?used to cut external threads.
- 10State the purpose of the adjustable split die and the solid die.solid die - used for chasing or recutting damaged threads.
adjustable split die - permist adjustment over or under the standard depth of thread. - 11Explain the procedure for starting a die on the work- chamfer the end of workpiece
- lubricate tapered end of die
- place tapered end of die on workpiece
- press down and tirn clockwise several turns
- check if it has started squarely
