M6 refers to a metric 6 mm screw. The outside diameter of the threads is 6 mm. The standard metric rack screw is actually an M6 x 1 mm.
A gage number like "6" is the diameter and the length is the length of the screw that goes into the wood not inclusive of the head unless it's a flat head.

Machine screws are often found in sizes of: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14—the larger the number, the larger the screw. Machine screws, but especially caps screws and bolts, can range from 1/4 inch up to 3 inches or more.
The #6 is not the smallest screw, but it is commonly used for putting together small objects. The thread size of the #6 screw is 0.13″ or 9/64th of an inch in diameter. You can find #6 screws in lengths that range from ½″ up to 1-½″.
A Torx screw is a six-lobed, star-drive socket or external head. A Torx screw is a type of screw characterized by a six-lobed, star-patterned screw drive. Torx drive is a trademark commonly referred to as star drive or, simply, a six-lobe. It's often abbreviated to TX or 6lobe. The ISO name is hexalobular.
The first number in a metric bolt specification refers to the bolt's nominal outer diameter. For example, a bolt specified as "M6-1.0 x 30" fits a 6.0-mm diameter hole.

The first number is the diameter. The bigger the number the bigger the screw. The second number is the number of threads per inch.
6mm = almost 1/4 inch. 7mm = almost 9/32 inch (= a bit over 1/4 inch) 8mm = 5/16 inch. 9mm = almost 3/8 inch.

M6 threads are 6mm metric screws. The standard metric rack screw is called M6 x 1. The 'M' means it's metric. The '6' is the outside diameter measured in millimeters, and the '1' is the distance between adjacent threads, also in millimeters.
