Available sizes: 3/32", 1/8", 9/64", 5/32, 3/16, 1/4, #33 & #36.
Sizes and their uses.
3/32" for single turrets. #33 bit for double turrets. #36 bit for split top turrets. 1/8" bit for eyelets.
9/64" or 5/32" bit for mounting holes for #6 mounting hardware. 5/32" leaves a little wiggle room.
1/8" or 9/64" works for single wire holes if you are running any wire through your board.
5/32" is good for 2-wire holes, 3/16" for 3-wire holes and 1/4" for 4-wire holes.
These holes sizes are good for cloth covered 20awg solid core which is pretty thick stuff so they should work for just about any wire.
