Bruce,
There is a very good chance you measured incorrectly or the drill was undersize.

Impossible to drill an undersize hole. As the drill will not go through
the hole. Sharpen the end offset as to the center point and you will get
a bigger hole.
No, it isn't. It's not all that uncommon.

Errr Harold, will you explain that a tiny bit.
I measure the shank of a, say .500", drill. Stick in the machine and
drill a .450" diameter hole? In mild steel? 1 inch thick?
Cheers,
Bruce
