For example, choose M16 × 1.5mm if you need to create a hole that accepts a 16mm fine-pitch bolt. Always drill the correct tap drill size before threading — for 1.5mm pitch, the recommended drill sizes are: M12 → 10.5mm, M14 → 12.5mm, M16 → 14.5mm, M18 → 16.5mm, M20 → 18.5mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Why do I get 2 taps in each set?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Each pack includes 2 identical taps so you have a reliable backup on hand for production runs, or can keep one as a spare in case of breakage during heavy-duty threading operations.
