How are drill sizes measured?
Tap-drill diameter equals nominal diameter minus thread pitch. For example, drill size for a 3/8-16 thread is 0.375 0.0625 (pitch) = 0.312 in. in diameter, and for a 10-32 thread, the drill diameter is 0.190 0.032 = 0.159 in. (a #21 drill).
Are drill bit sizes diameter or radius?
Typical drill bits have markings somewhere on the shank above the threads. It’s small, but it usually has the drill-bit diameter stamped into the metal; the number is written in fractions. For example, the markings may read: 1/4-inch, 3/6-inch or 25/32.
How accurate are drill bit sizes?
Drill bits are usually true to size or a little under, because they don’t drill perfectly round holes. If you need some free play to fit a bolt in the hole, go 1/64″ to 1/32″ bigger. If you need an exact sized hole use a reamer, that’s what they are for.

Do drill bits have to be exact?
Just about anything can be drilled, but what you’re drilling is the biggest question when picking a bit. Soft materials can be drilled safely with most any bit, but hard or brittle materials like glass or acrylic might require specially designed bits. Accuracy and finish can also affect your choice of bits.
How Big Should you pre drill a hole?
If you are creating a pilot hole for a nail, the right drill bit is slightly smaller than the nail’s shank. If you are creating a pilot hole for a screw, the drill bit should be the same size as the body of the screw—not including the threads.

What is the difference between a 1/2 inch and 3/8-inch drill?
As mentioned, 1/2-inch drills are a bit bigger and more powerful than 3/8-inch drills and because 1/2 inch drills are generally designed for heavy-duty work, they are also made with very tough materials. Generally speaking, a 1/2-inch drill is going to be much more durable and long-lasting than a 3/8-inch drill.

What is the tolerance of a drilled hole?
When drilling on a machine tool, the expected position tolerance should be no tighter than an eight thou, or 0.2 mm, diameter. While drilling, on its own, isn’t a particularly precise process, drilled holes are often refined by subsequent operations to improve their accuracy.
Should you always drill a pilot hole?
Pilot holes are necessary if you’re drilling into hardwood, laminate, or need a precisely located fastener. They’re also recommended if the wood is likely to crack, or if appearance is important. You can skip the pilot holes when doing a rough build with softwood where appearance isn’t important.
Should a pilot hole be as deep as the screw?
Drill until your pilot hole is the same depth as the length of your screw or nail. Many experienced do-it-yourselfers can eyeball the depth, but if you aren’t yet that experienced, you can use a drill stop to mark the appropriate depth.
