How big is a drill?

Drills are available in 1/4-inch, 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch sizes. The measurement refers to the size of the drill chuck — the part that holds the bit — and indicates the maximum-diameter bit shank that fits the drill. A 1/4-inch chuck is sufficient for a light-duty driver.

How do you read a drill bit size?

Typical drill bits have markings somewhere on the shank above the threads. It's small, but it usually has the drill-bit diameter stamped into the metal; the number is written in fractions. For example, the markings may read: 1/4-inch, 3/6-inch or 25/32.

Today, jobber bit refers to the length of the drill itself. Specifically, jobber bits have a flute length between 9 and 14 times the diameter of the drill. A ½ inch diameter jobber drill will be able to drill a hole 4 ½ inches deep because it is 9 times the diameter in length, for example.

What size hole do you drill for a 1/4 tap?

You can get away with a 1/8 inch drill for a 1/4-20 tap in a pinch.

How do I know what size drill bit to use?

Do all drill bits fit in all drills?

Why are there Letter drill sizes?

The numbered drill sizes came from British wire gauge sizes. It's my understanding that the non-uniformities came from diameter differences in the old wire drawing processes. Sort of the same deal for the letter sizes (but from different wire manufacturers).
