Really. Come on you boys at the back, pay attention!
15 divided by 25.4 precisely is ...? Anyone?
0.5906" so 19/32" comes out at 0.5938. Close as you'll get.

Thanks for reminding me that I've been meaning to look-up what AF stands for ('cos I could never work it out).

correct ^^^
5/8 would be way too big kev. 14mm is 9/16 and one millimeter is much less than 1/8 inch

Thanks lads
so a 19/32 is just over.. that's perfect
I'm after a 15mm or 19/32 HSS drill bit with a reduced shank or a tapered shank.
Big ask I know

I always thought it meant across flats - as in the opposite faces of a hex nut
Lend us a torque wrench Bob
