pocket clip bolts

[insanity]

What size bolts are generally used for pocket clips? Also what size tap and drill bit goes with said bolts?

Thanks

I usually use a 2-56, which if course requires a 2-56 tap.

The drill size varies, depending on material and tap type.
There are charts that are googleable to point in the right direction.

For example, in Titanium, using a thread forming tap, I use a 5/64" tap.
Seems awful large for that size, but it works, and I'll twist the head off a screw before stripping the threads in 1/8" titanium.
