Accepted answer
dowel hole - Tight fit holes or interference fit. used mainly for mold die setup.
drill size - this is free size selection based on the drill bit available with you.
screw clearance - this allows std and default screw clearance in market as per screw generally higher than screw outer dimension. example- for M6 its 6.3 to 6.6.
tape drills -this is actual thread hole with pitch and length
- for M6 thread use this
