Here are the drawings. I have made the new drawings to reflect the recent changes I have made, mixed with the changes that I should have made. Some minor details are not shown in the drawings. It should be obvious as to what is needed.

The plans are in DXF and PDF format. The FIG format is no longer used.
The
Tap and Drill Chart
is only available in PDF format. It shows drill sizes for 75% threads
and 50% threads.I checked my tap and drill set and found out that the drills are for the 75% thread.
Note: I have been studying the screw threads, and I have found that the listing for 75% threads are actually 90%, and the listing for 50% threads is actually 60%. The new drill chart is correct.
Using small taps in steel it is very difficult to get the threads tapped without breaking the tap. You can use a smaller percentage of threads for an easier to tap hole.
The new drill chart has drill sizes for 90%, 75% and 60% threads.
The Tap and Drill chart is available laminated in plastic from my store.
