Drill size chart

Every common drill in one list, sorted by size: number, letter, fractional and metric, with inch and mm sizes side by side.

Find the nearest drill to a size with your browser’s find (Ctrl+F / ⌘F), or use the tap drill calculator to pick the drill for a thread. Number drills #61–#80 are marked EST: they are from commonly published lists and have not yet been checked against a standard.

Reading the chart

Number drills run backwards: #1 is the biggest (0.228") and #80 the smallest. Letter drills carry on above #1, from A (0.234") to Z (0.413"). Many sizes overlap closely, so the nearest drill in another system is often within a few hundredths of a millimetre.
