What size hole to drill for M8 anchor bolt?
M8 is a thread for a bolt where the thread is machined form a 8mm diameter bar. If you want to drill a hole in a metal component to tap a hole to match the thread then drill 6.8mm diameter. if you want to drill a hole in a wall and bond a M8 thread in place drill a 8mm hole. If you want to use an expanding bolt - look on the packet as they all vary.
What size drill bit for m8x1.25 tap?
To figure out the tap size for any metric tap, all you do is subtract the pitch from the size of the tap and that is your drill size. So for, M8x1.25 1.25mm - 8mm = 6.75mm So, 6.75mm is the drill size. To convert that to inches, 6.75/25.4= .265 .265 is 17/64ths Confused yet? :smile:
What size is a M8 screw?
We typically use the threads mentioned above in rack applications. An M8 screw has a diameter of 8mm. It has a pitch thread of 1.00mm for fine and 1.25mm for standard. The M10 screw has the widest diameter among these six kinds. It has a diameter of 10mm and comes in several lengths.

How do I know what size drill bit to use?
The diameter of the hole you drill should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the screw. So, for example, if you're using a 3.5 mm screw, use a drill bit with a diameter of 3 mm. If you're using wall anchors as well as screws, the drill bit and anchors should have the same diameter.
How do you determine the drill size for a tapped hole?
As a rule of thumb, for Metric threads, the tapping drill can be calculated by subtracting the pitch from the diameter of the thread. eg for an M5x0. 75 thread the tapping drill is 5-0.75mm = 4.25mm. For Imperial (inch) threads the tapping drill size is calculated in the same way, diameter minus pitch.
How do you drill an M8 screw?
If the bolt is an M8 , ( M8 X 1.25 pitch) that you are working with then use a 6.70mm drill bit or Decimal . 2638 drill bit or 7.40mm drill bit. If you are working with (M8 X 1.0 pitch) then use a 7.00mm drill bit or . 2756 decimal drill bit or a 19/64 drill bit .

What are drill sizes?
Another example of a metric set of drill sizes is the Renard series, which uses a simple factor to determine the diameter: 1 The R5 series uses a factor of 1.58 and contains the following sizes: M2.5, M4, M6, M10, M16 and M24 2 The R10 series uses a factor of 1.26 and contains the following sizes: M3, M5, M8, M12, M20 and M30
How to measure the diameter of a drill bit?
To measure the diameter of a drill bit, it’s best to measure the cutting edge rather than the shank (the shank is the part that is held by the drill chuck). To get an accurate measurement, use Vernier callipers, but be aware that depending on the quality of the drill bit, there could be a tolerance error of between 5 and 15 thousandths of a unit.
What is the standard drill bit size?
There are a variety of standards used to define drill sizes, the most common one in the UK is the British Standard BS 328 set which includes twist drill bit sizes between 0.2 mm and 25 mm.
