*When threading a blind hole, the best way to clean out the chips is to use a ball inflater needle in a blow gun. You can make an adapter using a 1/8-NPT  fitting (which is a close thread to a blow gun nozzle) to adapt the inflater to it.

*To keep chips from falling into an engine when rethreading a spark plug hole, put axle/bearing grease on the tap. This will collect most if not all the metal chips from falling into the engine.

To determine the ideal drill size for approximately 75% thread on inch-sized (imperial) special pitch taps, use the following formula:
 +
 +
'''Drill size''' = (Major Diameter of the tap) minus (.975 divided by the number of Threads Per Inch)
 +
 +
For example, to find the ideal drill size needed for a 1/4-32 tap:
 +
 +
Drill size = (1/4") - (.975 / 32 tpi)
 +
Drill size = 0.250" - (.975 / 32)
 +
Drill size = 0.250" - 0.0305"
 +
Drill size = 0.2195"
 +
 +
Using a decimal chart to find the closest available drill sizes to our calculated ideal drill size of 0.2195", we'd select either a 7/32" or #2 drill size.
 +
 +
To determine the proper drill size for a '''metric''' tap, subtract the tap pitch from the tap diameter. For example: a 42mm x 1.5 tap uses a 40.5mm drill (42 minus 1.5 = 40.5).
