P drill bit.

What would be the closest to this in a regular home set of drills. The type you buy for sale at a Home Depot. The P drill is a .323, what's the closest to that? Thanks all for reply.

5/16 is the closest regular size .

5/16 is the closest regular size .

Unless you can find 11/64" (.328"). :thumbup:

:lol: .... 11/64" is 0.1719" !!! I think you meant 21/64ths :lol:

And being Canadian an 8.25mm drill is closer :thumbup:

To the OP, you should learn to use a Drill Chart :

Sometimes it is handy to also have tap drill notations :

qbilder Pls divide Numerator by Denominator :wink:

BTW Drill Selection depends on the type of tap.

thank you all for the replies, this is a science beyond me since I never use these things unless im doing regular things at home. I have a 5/16, hopefully it will do the job.
