What this measurement means

The recommended 8.5 mm hole is a drilling dimension. The thread’s 10 mm basic major diameter describes a different part of the thread geometry. The interactive chart can centre either one while retaining the full designation.

This recommendation is attached to M10 × 1.5 in the source data. It is not inferred from the closest drill size or calculated from a diameter-minus-pitch estimate.

For cutting taps

Recommendations vary with material, engagement and tool. These values are transcribed from the Alpha / Sterling chart, not calculated by subtracting pitch. They are not intended for forming taps. A nearby catalogue drill is a dimensional comparison, not a substitute recommendation.

Other pitches at this diameter

These entries share a basic major diameter. Their pitches and tapping recommendations remain distinct.
