Erik,
the drill sizes you are using are all 0.2 to 0.4 mm too large, 
especially with the small values M2 to M6 where it hurts the most. The 
resulting theads have got to be too loose, easy to overtighten. Don't 
use complicated formulas, especially not percent calculatations in 
public, as my math professor said, just subtract the pitch from the 
diameter and you are on line.

This is what I use:

    ----------------------------------------------------
    Metric Coarse              | BS 4168 Clearance hole:
     |                         |      Type of fit:
    Size     Drill  E    Core  |  Close Medium   Free
    ----------------------------------------------------
    M2       1.70  61%   1.51  |
    M2.5     2.15  63%   1.95  |                       WARNING:
    M3       2.60  65%   2.39  |  3.2   3.4      3.6   2.5mm drill -> 82%.
    M4       3.40  70%   3.14  |  4.3   4.5      4.8
    M5       4.40  61%   4.02  |  5.3   5.5      5.8   With a nut length of

    M8       6.90  72%   6.47  |  8.4   9.0     10.0   engagement is stronger
    M10      8.70  71%   8.16  | 10.5  11.0     12.0   than the external thread.
    M12     10.50  70%   9.85  | 13.0  14.0     15.0
    M16     14.25  71%  13.55  |                       For CI and thin sheet,
    -------------------------------------------------- stick near 75%.
  
    Or in general:             # d is full thread depth.
    Drill Size = OD - (E*2d)   # E is e.g. 0.65
                               # d = kP , where P is thread pitch.
  
    Or transposed for E:    E = (OD - Drill_Size)/2d
  
                                                 k is:    ISO Metric       0.613
                                                          UNF/UNC          0.613
                    # British Association                 BA               0.600
                    # BSW, BSF, ME (32 & 40 TPI),         Whitworth forms  0.640
                    # BSB, and BSP parallel.
  
                 ----------------------------------------

  So for M12 x 1.5:

  d = 0.613 * 1.5 = 0.9195
  E = (12 - 10.5)/(2 * 0.9195) = 81.5%

  That's too much, especially for a deep hole. The 10.7 mm hole:

  E = (12 - 10.7)/(2 * 0.9195) = 70.6%

  would give Tom's spindle a fair chance.

  (In my previous post, I forgot that the above table is for Metric
  Coarse, i.e. 1.75 mm pitch @ M12. :-(

  What would Andy's 10.2 mm hole give with M12 x 1.75?:

  d = 0.613 * 1.75 = 1.07275
  E = (12 - 10.2)/(2 * 1.07275) = 84%

  That's hard on the tap and spindle. Much better is:

  E = (12 - 10.5)/(2 * 1.07275) = 70%
