Frequently asked questions
- Is 3.5mm the same as a standard drill bit size?
- 3.5mm (0.138 inches) is close to but slightly smaller than a standard #31 drill bit (0.120 inches) and smaller than a #7 drill bit (0.201 inches). It's commonly used for pilot holes in wood and metal work, and is a standard metric size for screws and fasteners. For precise drilling, use a dedicated 3.5mm metric drill bit rather than relying on fractional imperial sizes.
- What objects are about 3.5mm thick?
- A 3.5mm thickness (0.138 inches) is roughly equivalent to the width of 3-4 stacked credit cards, the diameter of a pencil lead, or the thickness of a smartphone screen protector. This measurement is common in electronics, jewelry sizing, and industrial applications where precision matters.
