    Hi Sherrie, Check with the dealer that sells you drill bits & ask for
    a chart that corresponds gauges/drill bit to thousandths. Most
    hardware stores also sell them. Usually a small, plastic coated
    chart. A Machinery Handbook will also give these. MSC also sells
    these charts. Lee Valley Tools sells a "Pocket Reference" by Thomas
    J. Glover, Sequoia Publishing. I'm sure it is available from other
    places, too, maybe Lowe's or book stores. Most drill indexes (box you
    place drills in) are marked with drill sizes, letter sizes, number
    sizes, fractional sizes.
