    A silly question: If I am going to use 16mm Anti Vandal Short Momentary Yellow Ring Switch and need to drill a hole - which tap & drill set should I use?

    I imagine this is what I need (from the first post in this thread):

    For the Lighted 16mm anti-Vandal Switch
    -To tap and thread; 15mm bit w/ M16-1 tap
    -Use a 23/32 endmill to countersink the AV switch. Drill a 5/8" hole first.

    edit: On this eBay auction for a M16 tap I have to choose screw pitch. What do I choose?

    M16-1: "M" means it's metric. The "16" is the diameter in mm. The "1" is the thread pitch.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.
