# TapDrill > Tap drill sizes, drill bit charts and clearance holes. Inch threads (ASME B1.1, UNC/UNF): recommended drill is the standard drill closest to 75% thread, % thread = TPI x (major - drill) / 0.01299. Metric (ISO 261): tap drill = diameter - pitch, rounded to the nearest standard drill (DIN 336). Clearance holes: ISO 273. ## Inch tap drills - [#0-80 UNF](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/no-0-80/): 3/64 drill (0.0469 in, 1.19 mm), 81% thread - [#1-64 UNC](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/no-1-64/): #53 drill (0.0595 in, 1.51 mm), 67% thread - [#1-72 UNF](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/no-1-72/): #53 drill (0.0595 in, 1.51 mm), 75% thread - [#2-56 UNC](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/no-2-56/): #50 drill (0.0700 in, 1.78 mm), 69% thread - [#2-64 UNF](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/no-2-64/): #50 drill (0.0700 in, 1.78 mm), 79% thread - [#3-48 UNC](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/no-3-48/): #47 drill (0.0785 in, 1.99 mm), 76% thread - [#3-56 UNF](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/no-3-56/): #45 drill (0.0820 in, 2.08 mm), 73% thread - [#4-40 UNC](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/no-4-40/): #43 drill (0.0890 in, 2.26 mm), 71% thread - [#4-48 UNF](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/no-4-48/): #42 drill (0.0935 in, 2.38 mm), 68% thread - [#5-40 UNC](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/no-5-40/): #38 drill (0.1015 in, 2.58 mm), 72% thread - [#5-44 UNF](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/no-5-44/): #37 drill (0.1040 in, 2.64 mm), 71% thread - [#6-32 UNC](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/no-6-32/): #36 drill (0.1065 in, 2.71 mm), 78% thread - [#6-40 UNF](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/no-6-40/): #33 drill (0.1130 in, 2.87 mm), 77% thread - [#8-32 UNC](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/no-8-32/): #29 drill (0.1360 in, 3.45 mm), 69% thread - [#8-36 UNF](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/no-8-36/): #29 drill (0.1360 in, 3.45 mm), 78% thread - [#10-24 UNC](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/no-10-24/): #25 drill (0.1495 in, 3.80 mm), 75% thread - [#10-32 UNF](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/no-10-32/): #21 drill (0.1590 in, 4.04 mm), 76% thread - [#12-24 UNC](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/no-12-24/): #16 drill (0.1770 in, 4.50 mm), 72% thread - [#12-28 UNF](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/no-12-28/): #14 drill (0.1820 in, 4.62 mm), 73% thread - [1/4-20 UNC](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/1-4-20/): #7 drill (0.2010 in, 5.11 mm), 75% thread - [1/4-28 UNF](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/1-4-28/): #3 drill (0.2130 in, 5.41 mm), 80% thread - [5/16-18 UNC](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/5-16-18/): F drill (0.2570 in, 6.53 mm), 77% thread - [5/16-24 UNF](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/5-16-24/): I drill (0.2720 in, 6.91 mm), 75% thread - [3/8-16 UNC](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/3-8-16/): 5/16 drill (0.3125 in, 7.94 mm), 77% thread - [3/8-24 UNF](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/3-8-24/): Q drill (0.3320 in, 8.43 mm), 79% thread - [7/16-14 UNC](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/7-16-14/): U drill (0.3680 in, 9.35 mm), 75% thread - [7/16-20 UNF](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/7-16-20/): 25/64 drill (0.3906 in, 9.92 mm), 72% thread - [1/2-13 UNC](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/1-2-13/): 27/64 drill (0.4219 in, 10.72 mm), 78% thread - [1/2-20 UNF](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/1-2-20/): 29/64 drill (0.4531 in, 11.51 mm), 72% thread - [9/16-12 UNC](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/9-16-12/): 31/64 drill (0.4844 in, 12.30 mm), 72% thread - [9/16-18 UNF](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/9-16-18/): 33/64 drill (0.5156 in, 13.10 mm), 65% thread - [5/8-11 UNC](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/5-8-11/): 17/32 drill (0.5313 in, 13.49 mm), 79% thread - [5/8-18 UNF](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/5-8-18/): 37/64 drill (0.5781 in, 14.68 mm), 65% thread - [3/4-10 UNC](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/3-4-10/): 21/32 drill (0.6563 in, 16.67 mm), 72% thread - [3/4-16 UNF](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/3-4-16/): 11/16 drill (0.6875 in, 17.46 mm), 77% thread - [7/8-9 UNC](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/7-8-9/): 49/64 drill (0.7656 in, 19.45 mm), 76% thread - [7/8-14 UNF](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/7-8-14/): 13/16 drill (0.8125 in, 20.64 mm), 67% thread - [1-8 UNC](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/1-8/): 7/8 drill (0.8750 in, 22.23 mm), 77% thread - [1-12 UNF](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/1-12/): 59/64 drill (0.9219 in, 23.42 mm), 72% thread ## Metric tap drills - [M1.6 x 0.35](https://tapdrill.pages.dev/tap/m1-6/): 1.25 mm drill;
