Google "tap drill sizes" and you'll get 19400 results. The formula for that calculation is searchable in Machinery's Handbook, but there are simple charts you will get in your search that can give you the answer for any size you need to know.
Wrong Question... You first determine the hole size required for the mine plan and then based on the air capacity and pulldown capacity of the drill rig you can determine the optimal drill pipe diameter to achieve productivity from the drill. What size is your drill? Air Capacity in CFM, Pulldown Capacity. What size does your drilled hole (diameter and depth) need to be to suit the mine plan (for the drill & blast process)?
I use a 3/16 drill bit for that.
That depends on the material and the size of holes. -I can do that on a drill press with a jig.
More information is needed as to the purpose of the holes, and what a 'fingerboard' is .
A 40mm hole saw is more efficient than a drill bit for holes of this size.
The holes for a pig cooker should be about a half inch to an inch wide. These holes must be drilled into a pipe for the cooker.
Because you presumably want your hole to be the right size, not too small or too big.

Depends which screws you are going to use. I usually use the #6 screws that come with blinds. They need no pre-drilling.
You simply use a 2mm drill bit, or if that is too difficult for you, select a 1/16 drill bit which is extremely close in size . -I consider both of these drill bits very common, so it's hard to understand anyone having a problem with it.
