OK guys, I have been reading and looking through a lot of charts on the web. I am having a bit of trouble with screw/drill sizing.
Is there a chart that anyone knows of that will give me the following information for the most commonly used folder screws?
For example: If I want to use a 0-80 screw what drill do I use to drill the hole that needs to be threaded? I know TI uses a different size than steel so both drill sizes are needed.
I also need to know what drill size for the clearance hole so the screw can pass through.
Then I need the drill size for the head of the screw to be able to recess it into the handle material. Since there are several head styles, this could be confusing the issue a bit.
I am hoping someone has a source for this or has already compiled the information, basically because I am pretty busy right now working on welding jobs (and need all I can get) and don't have a lot of time to search the web for the information.
If this has been figured out by anyone and they can post a chart or just a list of the info, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
If nobody has this but has some of the information, please post it and we can create a chart with the combined knowledge.
I looked long and hard at all the forums I know of and have not found this.
Thanks,
Bob
