The numbers that stick in my mind are 1thou per inch diameter.
1thou clearance for sliding fit, the same for press fit, or 1thou under for tight press fit.
Only way to get the exact size with a machine reamer is if it's perfectly aligned with the rotation axis. If it's off any, it'll cause an oversized hole, which can be handy, but also a PITA.
