Drill bit Question

[g.alemy0218]

I have bought a rollerball kit from rockler and it calls for a "V" drill bit, what if any are its equivalent? in standard and or metric?

Thanks

A letter V bit is .377", which is very slightly larger (.002") than a 3/8" bit (.375"). Hope this helps.

If you run into this type of question on the future, go to the IAP "
Library" and look at the "General Reference" section and you will find a couple of charts that shows sizes for all of the various drill bit types.

Or try out the online interactive of those charts - http://www.penventory.com/inv.pl?command=drillbitcheatform
