Default Niggling drill bit issue

My thoughts too.
When I did my router table I went to woodcraft and picked up a 13mm for
my 1/2 bits. Made the fit perfect. 14mm might be the better alternative.
I doubt the candles are perfect.

It doesn't fit. I tried 1/2 and 5/8" forstner. 1/2 is very noticibly
too small, 5/8 is very noticibly too big.

Damn these odd-ball diameters!

Thx,

Are metric bits available? I notice 17/32 is really close to 13.5mm, maybe
a 13 or 14mm bit would work?
