Directions: Sometimes in our field of work we are required to drill into concrete or through formwork for
placing reinforcing bars such as splices or dowels. Calculate the drill bit size required for the bars
diameters listed (using 25.4 mm/in.). Fill in the blank space next to the bar diameter with the drill bit size
needed in both millimeters and inches.
