Tap Drill & Tapping Speed — M10×1.5 in Cast Iron
Tap-drill size, RPM and synchronized feed for M10×1.5 in Cast Iron (75%-thread rule with material-specific speed).
Iron taps dry or with air blast; its powdery chips don't bind flutes the way steel curls do. Gun (spiral-point) taps push the dust ahead in through-holes — the cheapest insurance against binding.
Formula
Note: Catalog starting values only — always confirm against your tool maker's data sheet and cut a test part. Machine rigidity, coolant and workholding shift real-world numbers.

About Tap Drill & Tapping Speed — M10×1.5 in Cast Iron
Tap Drill & Tapping Speed — M10×1.5 in Cast Iron computes the governing relationship drill ≈ D − (P × %engagement / 76.98) · vf = n·P live as you type. Iron taps dry or with air blast; its powdery chips don't bind flutes the way steel curls do. Gun (spiral-point) taps push the dust ahead in through-holes — the cheapest insurance against binding. Defaults are pre-filled with realistic values for this exact scenario, and the worked example substitutes your numbers step by step so the math is never a black box.
How to use Tap Drill & Tapping Speed — M10×1.5 in Cast Iron
- 1Enter your values — Thread major diameter, Thread pitch, Tapping speed Vc, Thread engagement (sensible defaults are pre-filled).
- 2Read the live results: Tap drill diameter, Tapping RPM, Feed (locked to pitch).
- 3Check the "with your numbers" line to see drill ≈ D − (P × %engagement / 76.98) · vf = n·P substituted step by step.
- 4Adjust inputs until the scenario matches yours, then copy or share the result.
Why use Tap Drill & Tapping Speed — M10×1.5 in Cast Iron?
- ✓Instant, free and private — every calculation runs client-side in your browser; nothing is uploaded
- ✓Built on the stated formula drill ≈ D − (P × %engagement / 76.98) · vf = n·P with authoritative sources cited on the page (Machinery's Handbook, 31st ed. — Speeds and Feeds; ISO 2306 — Drills for tapping holes)
- ✓Iron taps dry or with air blast; its powdery chips don't bind flutes the way steel curls do.
- ✓SI ⇄ Imperial toggle converts your inputs in place, so you can work in the units your drawings use
Frequently asked questions
What formula does the tap drill & tapping speed — m10×1.5 in cast iron use?+
It evaluates drill ≈ D − (P × %engagement / 76.98) · vf = n·P, exactly as published. Sources: Machinery's Handbook, 31st ed. — Speeds and Feeds; ISO 2306 — Drills for tapping holes. The substituted worked example on the page lets you verify every step against the textbook.
How should I read the result — and how far can I trust it?+
Iron taps dry or with air blast; its powdery chips don't bind flutes the way steel curls do. Catalog starting values only — always confirm against your tool maker's data sheet and cut a test part. Machine rigidity, coolant and workholding shift real-world numbers.
When is this calculator the right tool for the job?+
Tap-drill size, RPM and synchronized feed for M10×1.5 in Cast Iron (75%-thread rule with material-specific speed). A free cnc machining: speeds, feeds & tool wear tool. Gun (spiral-point) taps push the dust ahead in through-holes — the cheapest insurance against binding. For neighbouring scenarios, the related tools below cover the same engine with different presets.
Does it support both metric and imperial units?+
Yes — the SI ⇄ Imperial toggle converts the values already in the fields, preserving the physical quantity, so you can flip mid-calculation without re-entering anything.
