Hello everyone
I'm working on prototyping a section for a kitless rollerball using the Schmidt refills.
I think I've got my depths dialed in for the section length - where I'm struggling are the hole diameters.
Below are the sizes I've mic'd - drilling the mic'd sizes they are too tight - and then the size holes that actually fit in parenthesis - Using bits for the diameters that fit fewl a tad loose to me.
Size/Fit
3/32 / (7/64) - tip
3/16 / (11/64) - collar
15/64 / (1/4) - shaft
What I'm wondering is, if I drill to the mic'd diameter, if I'll gain enough room if I use the same size reamer (I.e. a 3/32 reamer for the 3/32 hole.) I've only done a little research and there don't seem to be options between these sizes unless I'm missing something (which admittedly I very well could be.)
Thanks much for any thoughts
