For a M27 × 3.0 thread, drill the hole with a 24 mm tap drill (24 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 27 mm and a pitch of 3 mm (8.47 TPI).
To pass a M27 × 3.0 bolt through a part rather than thread it, use a clearance hole: Close 28 · Normal 30 · Loose 32 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.
