I have been researching undersized taps, particularly 10-32 spiral for blind hole tapping on a CNC lathe
The hole I am tapping is for a male threaded part that is made (not by me) to the low/small side of the spec but I need a tighter fit so when assembled they are more parallel, straighter, less slop
The way I understand, H1 thru H4 are .0005 per
H1 is .0005 over and H4 is .002 oversize
"H" means Ground Higher or Larger
"L" means Ground Lower or Smaller
When searching L1 thru L4 I am finding nothing?
L2/.001 under would be great
Any guidance or info is greatly appreciated
