Panache drill sizes?

[angboy]

I just got my first panache kits recently. Unless I'm just blind or can't read, the instructions read that the supplies you need are a 13/32" and a 12.5mm drill bit, but then they don't say which bit for which part of the pen. I'm assuming it's like the baron where you use one size for each of the two parts? So can anyone tell me which bit you use for the top/cap end and which for the bottom/nib end?

Angela, the larger bit, 13/32 is for the shorter tube which makes the cap of the pen. The 12.5 mm is for the pen body , or the longer tube.

Take a look at this:

13/32" is smaller than 12.5mm (see the drill bit size charts). With that information, it should be apparent that the long skinny tube, and thus the long skinny blank, uses the 13/32" bit. With that piece of information in hand, the 12.5mm bit is used for the short, fat tube and blank. [8D]
