Hey guys anyone have any advice on what size drill bit to use for drilling the guard slot when using 3/16" stock and also 1/8" stock??? I know it's not 1/8" and 3/16" bits...too big. I figured that out the hard way. Anyone care to shorten my experimenting time? I've always made full tangs so far but want to start trying some new stuff.

The slot should be a bit smaller than the tang thickness at the ricasso.File it to a press fit.I drill four small (#60) holes and saw the slot out with a jewelers saw.
