For 3/32-inch (0.09375") rivets, the correct drill hole size depends on the rivet type (solid or blind/pop rivet). Here’s the general rule:
-
🔩 Standard 3/32" pop rivet (blind rivet):
👉 Drill size: #40 drill bit (≈ 0.098" or 2.5 mm) -
🔧 3/32" solid rivet:
👉 Drill size: #41 drill bit (≈ 0.096" or 2.44 mm) for a snug fit
