#3 (.210) drill bit?

Recommended Posts

Anyone know what this is comparable to in a "standard" size?

 

No one in the greater NE PA area seems to carry it (or even know what it is).

 

The Global West rear leaf spring bushings say it's required to run a 1/4" x 28 size tap through.

 

I'm stumped!

that's a "number drill." Number drills fall between the common fractional sized drill bits below .23". Above that these same "in between sizes" are called letter drills up to .413".

 

The closest standard fractional bit to that is .2031 (7/64") and then .2187 (7/32"). Both of these are included in standard small drill sets.

Thanks Revhead! After much searching i found a place outside of town that had the elusive #3 bit. I figured the other bits would be to small/big to use.
