DIYbanter - View Single Post - drilling 'actual' sized holes with HSS drill bits

In article ,
says...

but, other than 'drilling undersize and reaming', what's the best way
to drill a hole in mild steel and get the 'expected' size hole (aka:
have it yield the _same_ hole size as the bit size)?

"Same" being how close? If you want to create a hole that
is sized within 0.0001 inch tolerance, you can't really
do it by just drilling.

Maybe if you put a tolerance number on your hole diameter
it would be easier to pick the best way to do it.
