Subject: KR> Drilled Bolt Calculation

Hello all,

I?ve ordered bolts drilled for castellated nuts several times now,
and I?ve ended up ordering at least a couple that were the wrong length each
time. So I pulled out my calipers and did some checking, and I ended up just
drawing up a spreadsheet to help me get the right stuff the *first* time
from now on. If such a resource already exists, then just ignore this.
However, if you (like me) are confused about how grip and nominal length
translate when you?re using a castellated nut, I?ve uploaded the spreadsheet
and have a link on my blog so you can download it. It?s only got AN3 and AN4
calculated at the moment, but if anyone has other diameter drilled bolts
that they want to measure and send me results, I?ll update the spreadsheet.
