Tom,
I am sure that someone will give you a website to go to that will give you
all the data, but most tap and die sets have a chart with them that gives
the appropriate drill and tap size for each given screw or bolt size. Give
me the bolt size (such as 5/16-32tpi) and I will give you the tap and drill
size.
