I have had a few boxes of drills over the years (#1 through #~75). Each one 
has a chart for tap and clear drill sizes for screw sizes #2-56 through 1/4-20. 
It's stamped into the front so you can't lose it.

Don't have the proper hole size chart  for taps anymore.  I assume the hole size to be threaded 1/4 x 20 is less than 3/16''. Anyone have a chart showing the proper size.TNX
