ordering advice needed please

[stevebuk]

hi
i am putting together a list of pen items from csusa, on some of the items they offer a drill bit, say 37/64ths, would there be a mm size equivalent over here, i dont know what 37/64ths is in mm, and how would one find out[?] and would you advise to buy it..
many thanks

37/64" = 14.684mm

a great resource

It downloads to your computer automatically, so don't rush, it's worth the wait!!!

Hut has this chart in the middle of their catalog, I have it posted in my shop in 3 different places.

THANK YOU Hut!!!!!

thanks guys, the list looks useful, but i still dont know how you get 37/64" into 14.684mm, it doesn't tell you that on the list.

You need a caliper, then use thousandths of an inch (or whatever YOUR caliper measures) for everything.

The list will give you a close approximation of the metric (or SAE) equivalent.

Steve, I've just e-mailed you a pretty good converter. It can do just about any size or quantity you can think of. It was about 550kb so I hope you aren't on dial up

1 MM = .0394 inches... divide inches by this factor to get inch to MM 37/64" = .578125" / .0934 = 14.673223 MM

A caliper is probably easier.

Steve, you could always go to the IAP library, under general references, and use the drill charts there. They compare the letter bits, metric, and decimal.

I have found the 37/64 bit to be a little tight and recommend you get a 14.7mm if you can, even 14.8 would be OK.
