Learn how metric bolts and screws are measured. I didn't understand metric bolt measurements and did some research. Find out what I learned. It's pretty simple once you know.

One additional "good to know" is if you need to drill and tap a hole just remove the pitch lenght from the diameter and use that drill size. M6*1 use 5mm drill, M8*1,25 use 6,8mm (difficult to find 6,75mm)

It can be confusing to look at thread pitch because SAE and metric are kind of opposite each other. An SAE #10 coarse is 24, fine is 32 (bigger number) but an M6 coarse is 1.00, fine is .75 (smaller number). The difference is "threads per inch" versus "millimeters per thread". You explained the metric side very well and now I have my head screwed on straight.
