Hi All! Question for those in the know concerning drill bits used in model kit building:
I have a model I'm going to be starting soon. It requires a couple holes be drilled. The instructions designate numbers I'm not familiar with, and I was hoping you could "educate" me.
The designations have a O with an angle slash (/) through it, followed by 1,2 mm and 0,1 mm.
I was looking through
Model Expo - Historic Wooden Ship Kits, Airplanes, Hobby Tools, Shipmodeling Books And More at their twist drill sets, and saw a metric drill set with sizes such as 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, etc,; and sets that designate by "sizes", such as #61-80.
This has me all kinds of confused. In the end, I can at the very least, figure out what the actual part is that is to be connected, match up the locating pins to a drill size, and presto-chango; but I'd rather know what the actual size designation is the kit in question.
Any ideas?
