For a M10 × 0.75 thread, drill the hole with a 9.25 mm tap drill (9.25 mm — the standard D − P rule) before tapping. That produces roughly 77% thread engagement, the usual target for a strong, tappable hole. The mating bolt has a major diameter of 10 mm and a pitch of 0.75 mm (33.87 TPI).
To pass a M10 × 0.75 bolt through a part rather than thread it, use a clearance hole: Close 10.5 · Normal 11 · Loose 12 mm.
All values are generated from the standard thread formulas (ISO 68-1 / ASME B1.1) and published standard tables — not hand-entered. See the full reference.
