I bought a set of HSS drills ranging from 1.0 to 6.0 mm diameter in 0.1 mm increments, (DIN 338,) in which I found that every drill is approximately
0.08 mm undersize i.e. nearly a size smaller than marked. Is this because of poor quality control by the manufacturer, or is it an attempt to allow for the fact that the resulting hole is always a bit bigger than the drill?Cliff Coggin Kent UK
