Time for Tapping = \frac{L + \frac{D}{2}}{P \times r.p.m}
Time for Cutting = \frac{\frac{3}{2} \times (L + \frac{D}{2})}{P \times r.p.m}
where:
- P is the pitch of the thread in millimeters
- L is the length of the threaded portion in millimeters
- D is the diameter of the tap used in millimeters
- r.p.m is the revolutions per minute of the job.
