jyviko e7994d48cc Tapped holes: Rc and NPT take the tap maker's tabulated drill
The Rc and NPT drills were rounded to a drill series from a third-party reproduction of DIN 345
and a fractional/letter inch series cited from memory. They now come from the same tap maker's
catalogue the G and Rp drills do: Yamawa YEU23, printed p.709 (Rc, the maximum straight bored
hole with non-full threads, Rc 1/16 to 4) and p.710 (NPT, the maximum straight bored hole, 1/16
to 3). A size its tables lack (Rc 5 and 6, NPT 3 1/2 to 12) is refused as a tapped hole, naming
the range. The dialog's tooltip keeps the standard's minor diameter where the thread ends.
Rc 1/2 drills 17.6 mm (minor 17.807), 1/2 NPT 17.60 mm (minor 17.473).
