Hi, I wonder if anyone is knowledgeable about woodworking drills?
Here's the story. I am fitting new guitar tuners ( machine heads) to my guitar and they are, unfortunately, manufactured in Amerca. This means that the hole I need to bore in the headstock has to be 25/64" ths, which I take to mean "twenty-five sixty fourths of an inch..."
Please can someone tell me what the metric equivalent of this would be, I calculate it to be 9.7 mm, would this be correct? The nearest sizes I can find a our local store are 9 or 10 mm.

I am looking at a plastic drill gauge that has both numbers on it.
A 25/64 bit is 9.92 mm. Rounded up, that's a #10.

25/64 is .390 which comes out to about 9.9 mm. Go with a 10 mm drill bit and have at it, or use a 9 mm and file it out to just fit, depending on how much tolerance you can afford.

There were so many woodworking plans with this collection and you will not believe this but there are over thousands plans in the one package deal. Go here https://tr.im/T0OSg
This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.

The closest you are likely to easily find is 10mm. Ask around friends, friends DADS! lol. They may well have 25/64ths drill bit. I have one, so will a few other "older" guys. :-)
