Poking around the accessories, I noticed that in addition to the standard 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 15mm, and 16mm bits, many are also available slightly oversized, specifically 6.1mm, 8.1mm, 8.2mm, 10.1mm, 10.2mm, 12.1mm, 12.2mm, and 16.2mm. I wonder if many users have ordered these oversized bits? I suppose these would be nice for when you want to use the dowels for alignment but don't need a super tight fit.

My bits are the .1 oversized variant to allow for easier alignment of carcasses when my dowels expand due to humidity and glue. It's not like with a domino that the dowel can be completely loose. Make no mistake everything is still tight when assembled and glued up. It just gives you a hair more room to align those carcasses. Theyre useful in my climate and work but by no means a necessity or must-have.

I purchased a complete set of drill sizes + all the .2 options. Just like the administrator said, the very slight increase in hole size copes with variations in dowel thickness. Its especially suited when using expanding polyurethane glue.
