Depending on the type of tap being used and the applications, many can be used with a tap wrench or power tool. For smooth and precise thread cutting, a wrench tool is more suitable, whereas a power tool is suited to rapid thread cutting. Once attached, the hand tap can be rotated to cut the thread in the required material.

The second number (0.7) is the pitch which corresponds to the distance between two adjacent threads in millimeters. Finally, 20 is the length of the bolt in mm, measured from the tip of the thread to the bottom of the head (with the exception of oval headed bolts). I have attached a drawing of another piece of equipment, could you have a look at it and quote for me. OverWire is a measuring method to obatin the pitch diameter of threads. It is mostly used when a manufacturer does not have a Go/Nogo gauge for a thread. You can learn more about it here

Some prefer to use somewhat arbitrary but reliable formulas like: “Dtap = Nominal Diameter – Thread Pitch”. This formula works for both metric and imperial units, and for all 60-degree threads (all ISO, DIN, UTS, UNC, UNS, and UNF bolts). The first tap drill chart below is in mm and the next in inches. Both are available as a printable tap drill chart PDF as well. Tap Drill Chart (mm and inches) Taper taps are often used to create new threads in materials and are ideal for tougher material such as steel, allowing for a gradual and smooth tapered cut. Second and plug taps have a shorter taper and more threads and are often used to create and re-cut threads at a faster rate.
