Hi all, does any one out there know the dia of the drill which comes in the Aristocraft Rail joiner drill and tap set, I suspect that the description, which mentions 2mm refers to the tap size?
Having broken my drill bit and then carefully lost the remains it is rather difficult to measure the one I had.

cheers

A 1.6 mm drill bit is what Aristo supply but I've used a 1.5mm bit for a lot of my trackwork. I use a little cutting compound to get rid of the squeel too!!
 
a 1/16" drill would do just as well. To all intents etc it's the same size. unless you count 0.0125mm as significant. :thumbup:
 
I find that it is not necessary to cut a thread before inserting the screw, the steel screw will cut a decent thread on it's own.
