Mike I learned to use certain size holes, I understand how some of the smaller number drill bits start to get expensive. The smallest bit I have is a #59 for .040 silver wire and I have 3 carbide bits in that size for drilling tangs, but before hardening and the bits are tipped with carbide. So far I have managed not to break one. I am just curious as what you need a #55, .052 bit for. Is it a clearance hole for a 0-80 screw? 3/64 or .0469 diameter or is it a threaded hole? My specs call for a 3/64 hole to tap for 0-80. Teeny weeny screws man.
