🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of the first number vs. the second number in a standard machine screw/tap designation (e.g., 8-32, 10-24) • Relationship between screw/tap number sizes and actual major diameter of the thread • Difference between the thread size and the drill sizes (tap drill vs. clearance drill)

💭 Think About

• In an '8-32' designation, what does the '32' usually represent in threading terms? Once you know that, what is left for the '8' to represent? • Think about standard machine screw sizes: #6, #8, #10, etc. What physical feature of the screw changes when you move from #6 to #8 to #10? • Which item in the choices (tap drill size, clearance drill size, hole size) is a tool or operation that depends on the basic thread size, rather than defining the size itself?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that in a designation like '8-32', the second number (32) is threads per inch (TPI). That leaves the first number (8) to mean something else. • Remember that tap drill size and clearance drill size are chosen based on the thread, not the other way around. • Check that you're distinguishing between the thread’s nominal size and the actual drill bit used to create or clear that thread.
