No. The coarse thread UNC screws will not thread into the fine thread UNF holes. UNC must be used with UNC and UNF with UNF.
unc is coarse, unf is fine pitch
In the context of a drill, "UNF" typically stands for Unified National Fine, which refers to a type of thread standard used in the United States. UNF threads have a finer pitch compared to UNC (Unified National Coarse) threads, allowing for a tighter fit and greater holding power in certain applications. Understanding the thread type is crucial for ensuring compatibility with fasteners and components in mechanical assemblies.
The minor diameter of a .750 -16 UNF - 2A external thread can be calculated using the standard formula for UNF threads. For a 16 TPI (threads per inch) thread with a nominal diameter of 0.750 inches, the minor diameter is approximately 0.650 inches. This value may vary slightly based on specific tolerances and manufacturing practices but generally adheres to standard specifications.
A thread gauge is a tool used for identifying the particular thread on a bolt or screw. The gauge will have several blades with saw like teeth of different sizes. You match a particular gauge to the thread which will then tell you what size thread it is. gauges come in various pitches to match different screw threads. UNF, UNC, Whitworth, Metric etc. Each has a different pitch angle and thread per inch or millimetre.An image of a thread gauge can be seen HERE
To individualise visual expressions of a particular specification or part within a drawing. Using the drawing key will help to differentiate between symbols. The meaning of any given symbol or abbreviations in information documentation is to aid the user with regard to exacting specification, i.e.; Ω - means to measure or read in Ohms, Nm and Ibs may be used for weight in torque measurements, ISO metric, BSF, Whitworth, ANC, ANF, UNF, UNC are all nut and bolt thread types.

UNC stands for "UNIFIED BOLT THREAD COARSE" UNF stands for " UNIFIED BOLT THREAD FINE"

S.A.E - Standard American Engineers. Now it is called as UNF i.e. Unified Fine threads.UNF (Unified Fine Thread)Standardised in 1918Angle of Thread 60o DegreesUnified Fine (UNF) and Unified Coarse (UNC).American threads consist of two common and easily obtained thread patterns known as U. N.F and U.N.C. U.N.F [national fine] is exactly the same as the old S.A.E [standard American engineers] that existed before threads were unified.U.N.C [national coarse] roughly derived from the British Whitworth have the same pitches except 1/2 in dia where Whitworth is 12tpi and U.N.C is 13 tpi.Both these threads are 60 degree angleEarly Harley and Indian motorcycles used 24tpi threads on most diameters5/16 and 3/8 UNF are both 24tpi but 1/4 UNF is 28 tpi and a special 1/4 x 24 thread must be used.7/32 x 24 UNC is an obsolete thread. In the late 1960's, when even the U.S. was thinking of going metric, the giant BSA corporation decided it was finally time to scrap the 19th Century Whitworth-based system, and switch to American. Since they had lots of money invested in tooling, the switch wasn't made suddenly (or completely), so bikes and cars from the late '60's and later had a mix of all sorts of thread forms. Typically, engine internals (e.g. the thread on the end of a camshaft) stayed with whatever form it used to have, while simple fasteners (e.g. holding the mud guards on) switched to UNF.
I would use an 18mm or 23/32 drill bit, in general, although it does partly depend on the thread type ( UNF, UNC etc) and the material .
UNF refers to UnNormalised Form.
