Pair M6 with the matching M6 bolt or screw, plus a M6 flat washer where required to distribute load on softer materials.
When to Step Up or Down from M6
When the joint preload approaches the proof load of M6 class 8.8, step up to M8 class 8.8 (or move to M6 class 10.9). When the joint is over-specified, M5 often saves weight and cost without losing the safety margin.
