Hope everyone had a great Christmas or חנוכה שמח (Happy Hanukkah!)
Any suggestions are appreciated. How to get a close slip fit?
I am making an Imperial and the cap drill bit (17/32") is one I do not have. I ordered one but it is a bit oversize by about 1/16" (too large). I try to make my brass tube a close slip fit (no slop) . A 13.3mm (really 13.3mm) size is a bit undersize. I used a micrometer and pin gauges to measure all sizes. So what to do?

I've thought of:
- Using an adjustable reamer set (I have) but not sure it goes to that size.
- My boring head and boring bar to dial-in the size
- Getting a 13.5mm drill bit. My metric set stops at 13mm.
