Default Re: Tapping a hole in metal: What size hole?

^^^
This is what I was wondering. How thick is 'thick' and how often is 'often'? And how much load is it going to be subjected to?

The alternative would be to fit a nut instead. Have a look at clinch nut, blind clinch nut, rivet nut and press nut etc..
