Cheat Sheet?

[builtbybill]

Quick question: is there a cheat sheet somewhere that lists what size tenons to turn for all of the different dies, as well as what size drill bit for all of the different taps? I looked in the library but could not find one, it is very possible (likely) that I just missed it.

TIA

I think I found it, sorry about that

There are many online versions of the backside as well, but I find this helpful.

Metric taps/dies are easy. The first number is the tenon needed (e.g. M13 is a 13mm tenon) and the second you subtract and that is the drill bit (e.g. M13 x 0.8 = 12.2mm bit)

Some like to do a slightly smaller tenon to make threads that are not as sharp
