A limits, fits and tolerances calculator has been developed to help you calculate shaft and bore dimensions. This calculator is based on the ISO recommendation R286 which uses metric units. For your convenience an inch/mm selector has been added to help people machining in North America using machines and calculations based on inch systems.

Tap hole calculator will give recommended minor diameter based on percentage. Once calculated, drill recommendations will be given with actual thread percentage.

Milling and lathe speeds and feeds calculators work in both imperial and metric.

UN and metric tap drill charts include tap drills for form taps and cut taps.
