Drill bits for pens

[Daven]

Where do you guys get bits from?

I have just got a flat top rollerball kit and the tube is 9.34 - the nearest bit I have is 9.5 adding a bit for error it would appear to be a bit loose :?

Would an imperial set be better maybe?

Cheers

Dave

Will see what I can find locally

Thanks

In case it's any help, my Zeus chart says that 9.34 mm is about half way between 23/64 and 3/8 in old Imperial sizes, or almost exactly the same as a letter U drill size in the even odder letter/number series. Letter U is actually 9.35mm, and a well stocked engineers supplier might still stock the old letter/number sizes.

Dave, if all else fails try Chronos
