1/16" pilot hole ?

[myshop1044]

I tried to drill a 1/16" pilot hole using a 1/16" cut bit, to start a screw and the drill function
will allow a 1/16" bit selection, but not the 1/16" dia, is there a work around for this?
take a look at the back side of the sample.

Round your diameter to .063 and then make sure to select the depth to adjust it to make your pilot hole. The software will not allow the 1/16 bit to drill through your board of 1.5 inches thick so you will have to adjust the depth.

Works for me. I just typed 1/16 for diameter after selecting the 1/16 bit.

Thanks fellows, I tried to set the dia first before I set the bit size, you can't use a 1/8" bit for a 1/16" hole duh!!!!
