thanks - is that 9mm?

1 millimeter = 0.0393700787 inches


x 9 = .354330702

3/8 = .375 ins.

so quite a difference between 9 mm and 3/8 ins.

Coser to 3/8 would be 9.5 mm = .374 ins.

My instructions sheet calls for a 3/8 drill ,9.5 mm is fine as well .

Have fun with it ,easier than slims hehe, cheers ~ John

3/8" is a standard size bit and should be available at bunnies or elsewhere reasonably cheaply

By the time you pay for the 3/8 bit (around $10), you may as well buy a whole set of drills at Bunnies. They have both Imperial and Metric sets for around the $29 dollar mark. They are TiN coated and go from 1/16-1/2" in the Imperial size.

I have both sets and find they do a good job and between the metric and the imperial cover nearly all the common sizes for pen kits.
