.166 * 64 = 10.624
So 5/32 would be small and 11/64 would be big. Might be time to order some new drill bits.
Order several each of 1/4", #11, #19, #30, and #40 bits.
You will have them next day.
BTW, Have you looked in your drill and drill press chucks?
Sometimes it's the most obvious place.

In Farmer's Branch, TX has most drill sizes, including numbered sizes. They are at Valley View and Josey.
Open Sunday, too.

PS The .166 is 166 thousandths of an inch dia.
Anybody used these? Found them on HF's website:

I've found that anything with a cutting edge is one of those "You get what you pay for" situations. You can't buy 10 "good" drill bits for $10, much less 60.
Good God!!! I found my #19!!!! It was in the pile of stiffeners I sat on the spar to clean the table off.... Man, what a waste of time!! Thanks for all the help guys! Back to work I go!
Daniel,
I've been using a #18 for my #8 screw dimpled hole.( My theory is the dimple die is not stretching the hole as much as a #19..I think my #19 is tearing it)
I noticed early in my tank experience that the some dimples had very slight cracks in the large diameter side of the dimple. ( I ended up scotchbriting them completely out...they were only about .005" deep) I dont know if this is because of my dimple dies are on the large size limit or what, but I did several experiments using different size drills with parts set in an ice bag versus room temp and came to the conclusion that the #18 drill did not cause ANY cracks in a piece of scrap. I also went to a couple size holes larger than the #19 and almost all of the holes were cracked (by the way the ice did NOT differ from room temp as far as cracks go)
You cannot see the cracks with the naked eye (I cant anyway) but I have one of those magnifying lenses that attach to a head strap and you would be suprised. ( I Know..I know..I'm kinda anal examining the dimpled holes...but when I read here that someone had cracked dimples I started inspecting mine)
Very tiny but yet a crack is a crack and will grow over time with vibration.
This is just my opinion...YMMV
Good luck Daniel...your really kicking butt and I think you are going to overtake me soon...I've been working on my wings now for a year
Jim
Still on 7A wings
Just called them, they are closed on sunday.
Now that you have found your missing bit, could you come and find my missing cleco pliers and 1/4" ratchet-wrench and socket?
