Drill size selection
Drill size selection
(OP)
Hi everyone,
I want to drill a hole of 0.305" in a wooden panel which is 0.5" thick. What size drill should I use for this? and where can I select the drill size from? sorry for my ignorance.
Thanks,
David

A good reference for standard sizes would be The Machinery's Handbook, or http://www.mcmaster.com/

You should be able to find similar for mm. I used to use a Zeus book.
Bear in mind what the required tolerance is too.
