    Default Forstner bit - looking for imperial size

    Bought some Egoscope - kalideascope kits. Needed a 13/16 bit to bore out the hole.
    Couldn't get one at the WWW show in Syd so was advised that a 20mm was equivalent.
    It is too tight a fit for the kit parts and I need to sand out the hole .6mm to allow the correct fit. Not a great amount but enough to be an embuggerance.
    I have tried my usual local (Newcastle) supplies, internet and ebay. No luck.
    Does anyone know where I can get a 13/16 forstner bit in Aus?
    Thanks
    Lyle.

    Carbatec at the WWW show in Syd were the ones who sold me the 20mm saying it was the equal to the 13/16.
    I have since called them to let them know the conversion 13/16 to metric does not equal 20mm!
    Jim jumped in and said Carrolls had them, so have just completed the purchase through them.
    Thanks all.

    I remember having similar issues with the full size kaleidoscope kits. With those kits the mirrors could be planed down with a block plane. Are the egg kit mirrors planeable?
