Title: What drill do i have to use?
Post by: Tjark on February 08, 2019, 12:59:32 PM
I have bought a ¼ x 32 spark plug and tap for the treading.
Now I wonder witch drill I have to use for the tread hole.
I have surged on the net but I can’t find this information.

A 1/4 - 32 thread is usually (for a 70% thread)  1/4" - 1/32" or  7/32"   :-)   Just like all the "Metricanized" folks do. :-)

Get ye a machinery handbook.    8)

Otherwise known as the "Good book"  If you're going to do this stuff, it's really a need to have, as it's got so much information in it.

Unified National Extra Fine.   by the way
