Self-centering bits

[Thomas L Carpenter]

I wish they made one size smaller. Made several boxes with small hinges and the smallest size was too large for the screws.

I too have been trying to find one a size smaller for small hinges and such. Really surprised no one seems to make this.

Thomas Carpenter and Peter Kuhlman: you mentioned a need for small screw self-centering bits. How "small" is "small"? Snappy make one for a #4 (softwood) and a #2 screw (hardwood) with a 5/64" drill.

Would imperial or metric transfer punches work -- tap to mark the hole placement, then drill??? Looking on Amazon metric transfer punch sets start at 1.0 mm; imperial at 3/32"

I have the 5/64 size and it makes too large of a hole for the small brass screws used for decorative trim and small hinges. Not sure what exactly I need - maybe 3/64”?
