1 3/4-inch drill bit foret de 44 mm Explanation: ...or probably more likely in that size 'mèche à bois', depending on what is being drilled! 1 3/4" = 1¾" = 1.75 inches = approx. 44 mm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2020-01-20 14:39:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 4.8 mm is correct for ³/₁₆" — though a standard drill size of 5 mm is more likely to be required here. I doubt the final precision down to fractions of a millimetre is needed nor even helpful! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days 18 hrs (2020-01-23 08:27:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Please note that, even with the limited context given, it is not likely that an extremely high degree of precision could / would be required here; these are standard Imperial drill sizes, which are not necessarily all that precise in the first place! And it is only reasonable to assume that what interests the reader is "which standard metric drill should I use?" Note that if this were some field where extreme precision is required, the writer would not have used measurements like ³/₁₆" or 1¾" — it would have been expressed in decimals of an inch, mils etc. — such as 0.1875" or 187.5 thou. Fianlly, note that of course the situation would be totally different had it said, for example "ream the hole to a finished dimension of X ± 0.005 inch" |
