M56 Metric Thread

Below are the key dimensions for M56 metric threads: pitch, tap drill and clearance drill according to ISO 724:2023.
Welcome to our M56 Metric Thread Page, your go-to hub for swift metrics on M56 metric threads. We've curated a broad database for all standard metric threads you'll need for your parts, emphasising critical measurements like thread pitch, tap drill, and clearance drill. It's a complete solution for engineers, machinists, and hobbyists in need of reliable, precise data.
All dimensions stated in are mm (millimetre)
The Major Diameter is the largest diameter on the thread and is measured from the thread crest to crest (peak of the thread).
This is the distance (mm) from one thread to the next, this can be measured from tip to tip or groove to groove. Pitch can also be defined as TPI, which stands for threads per inch.
Minor Diameter is the smallest diameter on the thread and is measured from the thread root to root (Bottom of the thread).
The angle between the thread faces. 60 degrees in the example above.
The thread will assemble when rotated clockwise. "righty tighty lefty loosely"
The thread will assemble when rotated counter-clockwise.
The pitch for an M56 thread is 5.5 mm.
The tap drill for an M56 thread is 50.5 mm.
The clearance drill for an M56 thread is 62 mm.
