drill bit size question

[SDS]

Can anyone help me find a chart that shows the sizes of drill bits needed for handle pins? I need to know what size bits to use for 1/8" pins and also 3/32".

I think the 1/8" was an H size bit if I remember correctly but I'd like to have this information to print out and just have handy in the shop.

Thanks,
SDS

Here's all you need- Wiki on bit sizing.

Your 1/8" should fit a 30 gauge, while the 3/32" should be a 40 or 41. Letter sizes start with A at 0.234.

Here's what I use....

1/8" pin = #31 bit

3/32" pin= #41 bit

1/16" pin= #52 bit

One of the handiest things I ever purchased was a huge poster sized decimal chart off Ebay. After receiving it, I took it to the local Staples office supply store and had it laminated. For less than $10 I have a ready reference to all decimal sizes, drill bit sizes, and drill/tap sizes.
