| Define tap drill size | The drill size that will leave the proper amount on material in the hole for a tap to cut a thread. |
| Use the formula and calculate the tap drill size for: 1/2 inch -----13 UNC tape | formula TDS = D - 1/N 0.5-(1/13)=0.423" |
| Use the formula and calculate the tap drill size for: M 42 ---4.5 mm tap | Formula TDS = D - Pitch 42mm - 4.5mm = 37.5mm |
| Why should care be used when a hole is being tapped? | Because a tap is hard and brittle and can break easily. |
| Explain 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. |

| For what purpose are threading dies used? | used to cut external threads. |
| State 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. |
| Explain 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 - turn die forward one turn and reverse approx one half to beak the chip - apply cutting fluid frequently |
