For any size thread you plan to tap, to find the hole size just subtract
the pitch of the thread from the diameter of the thread. For an M3x.5
that would be 2.5, for a 1/4-20 it would be .25-1/20, .25-.05, or .2 (#7
drill is .201), etc.

True, but sometimes it's nice to refer to a chart that gives tap size,
drill size, thread size, etc. Something like this...

So you say. I'll bet Google will find him his tap table. Google works for
me and hundreds of millions of other people. Google's Android works mighty
fine on my Smartphone. I've had no problems with google invading my privacy. What do you have to hide? This is like the nuts that have it in for MSFT,
Apple, and insist we should all be using Linux. I say, use what works for

Lots of them online - or do the simple calculation - nominal diameter
less .75Xpitch is a good rule of thumb. so a 1/4X20 gets ..2125 - the
tables say.2188 for 50% thread
1/2X20 would be .4625 - tables say .4688 for 50% thread (iron and
steel). For plastic or brass the book says .4531 (75% thread).

BUT - you obviously have a computer with internst connection so just
google "tap drill size" and print off the chart.

Works if you have a half decent drill index. The cheapassed drill
sets half the guys on here have are doing good to have the DRILL size

Why is that an issue? I frequent many forums where I both get help and
provide help on subjects ranging from software applications to car repair.
If you asked me to tell you about any of the ads on those websites, I
couldn't. I just ignore them.

If I ask a question about fixing a 2002 Mitsubishi Galant and someone helps
me out, that's friendly. If someone asks a question about VBA programming
and I provide an answer, that's friendly. If either one of us follows up
with a sincere "thank you" for the help, that's even friendlier.

Who cares if the website is funded by ad revenue? As long as i can give or
get the help I went to the website for, the ads don't matter.

Granted, there are websites where the ads so obnoxious or set up so that
they make it hard to use the website. When I encounter one of those
websites, I click the little X in the upper right corner and never go back.

So you say. I'll bet Google will find him his tap table. Google works for
me and hundreds of millions of other people. Google's Android works mighty
fine on my Smartphone.

Samsung let me back up my phone contacts and data straight to my

it would do anything.

Every time I log in to google it wants my phone number.

I don't, but most people with Android phones do. It's the only easy
way. After going through the phone enough and asking around enough, I
figured out how to do it without google.

Every time I log in to google it wants my phone number.

Why do you "log in to" Google?

Do like "sign in" better?

Or if you're really interested in why, and not what's in quotes, I don't
remember, but for some of the things I do, a log-in screen appears.
Posting from groups.google would be something that causes that, except I
haven't done that for a year or more.

Reading gmail would be a reason to log in, but I don't have gmail.

I don't remember what I do that brings up the screen. It threatens me
with something like that they won't be able to to get a hold of me if I
lose my password and they don't have my phone number!!! (They could do
what everyone else does, ask for the name of my best friend's teacher's
first pet's name.)

They may have changed that. This time it said
"Add Gmail to your Google Account
By completing this form, you're upgrading to Gmail, email from Google.
Gmail works on any device, blocks spam, and much more."

[I think it's funny that they call it "upgrading". it's just another
email account, and iiuc, it's not even POP mail, just webmail.]

It continues:

"You'll be able to sign in using your new Gmail address, which will
become the primary email address associated with this account. We'll
send account updates, invitations, and other notifications to your Gmail
address.

a@b will become an alternate email address on this account, and you'll
still be able to sign in with it.

If you prefer, you can create a new Google Account with email, and leave
this one as-is."




https://accounts.google.com/b/0/SignUp?service=mail Here's their
sign up for a google account screen and it wants the mobile phone number
(they call it) too. But I can't tell if they're insisting on a number
in the field. I could make up a number, but I don't want to drag
whoever has that number into this. I could use a 555 exchange. Maybe
next time, I will see if it falls for that.

No, it's not the _only_ easy way. If you are willing to spend $5 MyBackup

It's called a "Tap Drill Size Chart", or "the size of hole you drill to run your tap into", and if you Google "Tap Drill Size Chart", you'll find lots of 'em.

When I was asking around, no one who replied mentioned this. Maybe it
wasn't written yet. I certainly saw the need for something like this
and I'm glad someone has filled it. Thanks.

In fact, this was one of the things about Android that annoyed me enough
to consider buying something else. I bought my phone used and ebay says
it's still worth 75% of what I paid for it.

Wait a second. You said "to your own SD card" but what is the purpose
of https://www.rerware.com/MyBackup/Webviewer/ Which uses a PIN and a
password and views something on the Web, "MyBackup Web Viewer" Does
Rerwares just store my data on its computer? . I want something
like Samsung PC Studio3, that puts the data on MY computer. Where I can
edit and add contacts using the computer which is much easier to type
with than using the phone

Are you saying the final destination is my own SD card, but it resides
on their computer druing (and after) transit? Based on the privacy

Because if they didn't store the data at least for a little while,, they
wouldn't need a privacy policy. Still, Mybackup seems better than
letting Google store the same data. Google has desires of grandeur, and
I doubt this company does (until it's bought by Google, of course)

there is no reason something like Samsung PC Studio3 couldn't be written

But this would be better, where the data goes straight to my PC and then
straight back after I've edited it, and added new contracts, and indeed,
I think I found a few programs that do this.

I googled Android Back up to PC and got several hits.

This is just a list. I have barely looked at the list and am not
recommending any of these. Except the first from PC Magazine. Just
ignore the parts about Google and gmail. Helium looks good too, even
the free version, buit the paid version is also only $5.

I don't think I googled for this when I first wanted it, because I got
pretty far on my own, and just didnt' know where the Contacts were
stored. They didn't show up with windows explorer, because it turned
out, I had to export them from where they were to some place on the SD
card. On the way back I had to import them. These commands were
listed in the phone but I didn't appreciate what they were for. Some
girl told me.

Thanks, Dad, for the encouragement

I just look at the website I linked to and I can understand your confusion.
There is not a lot of information at that site. Instead, search for the app
on your smartphone and read the description given there. It is much more
complete.

You have 2 options: back it up to their server or back it up to your own SD
card. If you chose the SD card option, they never see your data. I can
prove that by setting my phone to Airplane mode, turning off Wi-Fi and then
performing a local backup to my SD card. It works fine, so unless they are
coming into my phone once I reconnect to the network (which I doubt is
happening) they never see my data.

I saw the two options, but I figured that "to their server" was backing
up, and "to the SD card" was restoring.

I guess, if that's what you want to do. Another option (mine) is to simply
back it up the SD card and the store the card in a safe location in case
you lose or damage your phone. I don't need all of my phone data on my PC.
The stuff I do want, such as pictures, etc. I can copy directly just by
mounting the phone as a drive.
