Jeff Hubbard and Crew #1 in my book!!!!

you said they were metric! A #5 is NOT metric! I was just trying to confirm what they were! AND TIGUY NEVER SAID WHAT THEY WERE TILL AFTER I ASKED JEFF!
 
That's the way budget bolt wrote it down....So shoot me...Tiguy said yesterday what they were...
I said 5mm by mistake I was going off of what was written down. You started with #4 you would think I meant #5 instead of asking everyone you can think of...

Let's get back on subject, which is the awesome service I received from Jeff and his crew...

I'm just trying to get the info straight. It's pretty obvious its not 5mm as that's 3/16" that would be a huge bolt for a folder. Teeth per inch is also not how metric bolts are described.
 
If you look at Tyguys diagram there wasn't a #5-40 so I figured it must be #4-40. You didn't know so I asked Jeff.

Yes, My experience with Buck has always been above and beyond.
 
That's what I meant when I said it didn't sound right to me either and they pulled one off of the shelf....So I just wrote what they had on the card...


They went way beyond on this project, I made a very long story very short...
 
st8yd - a #51 drill is smaller than a #50, making it easier to break. #50= .070 a #51= .067. you would want to use a #49 to make it easier to tap and have threads that will still hold a #49 =.076 but it is pushing your luck. The Starett Decimal equivalent and Tap Drill Sizes state for a 2-56 a #50 drill be used. Since you have already tapped the hole and tried a screw to see if it fits, the clearance can be a #48 or .076 or 5/64ths which is.078. A #43 is .089 which is pretty big for clearance and may roll the cutting edge because there is to much slop.

Thanks, The hardware store had some cobalt bits for drilling hardened steel but the only size they had close was 3/32" so I got it and finished out the hole. Cutter works as expected.
