For a M20 × 1.0 thread, drill the hole with a 19 mm tap drill (19 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 20 mm and a pitch of 1 mm (25.4 TPI).
To pass a M20 × 1.0 bolt through a part rather than thread it, use a clearance hole: Close 21 · Normal 22 · Loose 24 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.
