Thanks for the advice. I think I didn't choose my words correctly when I mentioned the relationship of a #40 with a 3/32" rivet or a #30 with a 1/8" rivet and so on. All I was asking for, was the relationship between a #10 drill bit and the fractional counterpart, if any.
I won't discuss whether or not my tools are cheap or aviation approved, which is simply an understated assumption, to say the least.
Rest assure the airplane is being built with certified tools and hardware. I would never compromise the construction of a flying machine in which I'd fly my family with.
This was just a little lack of information. Thanks again
