M3 thread taps - why do both M3 0.5mm and M3 0.6mm taps exist? I thought M3 x 0.5mm was the standard, so why is there a 0.6mm pitch too?
why is there a 0.6mm pitch too?
Is there an M3x0.6 tap? I found one listing, but most of the Google results actually resolve to M3.5x0.6, and mis-listing is not unheard of, so I'd want to see solid evidence before believing in the existence of M3.0x0.6🙂
