5/8-24 UNEF Thread Dimensions
5/8-24 UNEF is a Unified National Extra Fine thread. There are 24 threads per inch on a 0.625 in major diameter, giving a metric-equivalent pitch of 1.058 mm. The recommended tap drill is nominal diameter minus pitch.

How these values are derived
computed from the basic profileThese figures follow the Unified basic profile of ASME B1.1. A 60° basic profile has a fundamental triangle height H = 0.866025 × P, with pitch diameter d₂ = d − 0.649519 × P, external minor diameter d₃ = d − 1.226869 × P and internal minor diameter D₁ = d − 1.082532 × P; the two minor diameters differ because the external root is rounded while the internal crest is truncated. The recommended tap drill is given as nominal diameter minus pitch, which approximates 75% thread engagement — adjust it for tough materials or deep holes.
