M14 × 2 tap drill size

12.00 mm drill — or 15/32 (0.4688 in) = 81% thread

M14 coarse series, 2 mm pitch. Tap drill Ø = nominal − pitch = 14 − 2 = 12.00 mm (≈77% thread, the standard chart value).

Rounding to your nearest stock drill moves the thread percentage only a few points. Cut taps only — roll-form taps need a larger hole. Verify before you cut.
