--> RV7-List message posted by: "Don Hall" <dhall@donka.net>
I bought a "rv empennage tool kit", which supposedly has all you *need* to
build the tail. (Like all you need to build a house is a hammer and saw.)
I was pretty disappointed with the kit when I immediately ran into
instructions calling for #12 and #19 drill bits. Not in the kit, and
apparently not at your average hardware store.
I'm curious whether anyone is knows if any brick and mortar hardware stores
sell drill bits in wire gauge sizes. I was surprised that Home Depot didn't
stock such bits. I ended up ordering online from Cummins.
I've already ordered this:
http://www.cumminstools.com/browse.cfm/4,621.html
$49.99 USD / Each
115pc High Speed Steel Titanium Coated Drill Bit Set
Power Tools / Drills / Drill Bits & Accessories
High speed titanium coated drill bits

26 pc. lettered bits (A-Z)
29 pc. fractional bits 1/16" to 1/2" in 1/64" increments
One metal index box
Interestingly, Sears had this

id=00967115000
$219.99

$22.99 from Harbor Freight:

I personally don't have a full wire gauge set. I just buy individual bits
from Brown or whatever. They're relatively cheap. #40, #30, #27, #19, #12,
#11, #10, and 1/4" are just about all you're gonna need. Then your run of
the mill 1/8", and 3/32" will be useful for undersize drilling stuff.
#40 for 3/32" rivet
#30 for 1/8" rivet
#27 for 5/32" rivets or #6 screws
#19 for #8 screws
#12-10 for #10 or 3/16" fasteners (#12 for tight fit, #10 for clearance fit)
1/4" for 1/4"
You may also want to snag a chucking reamer in 1/4" for stuff like bellcrank
and control column bushings, and when you get around to working on the
baffles, 13/64" and 17/64" reamers will be helpful for slightly oversizing
the 3/16" and 1/4" holes to reduce stress (as per Van's recommendation).
