For a M52 × 1.5 thread, drill the hole with a 50.5 mm tap drill (50.5 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 52 mm and a pitch of 1.5 mm (16.93 TPI).
To pass a M52 × 1.5 bolt through a part rather than thread it, use a clearance hole: Close 54 · Normal 56 · Loose 62 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.
