There are 25.4 millimeters (mm) in an inch. Thus, to convert a #10 drill bit to millimeters, you simply multiply the decimal inches by 25.4 like so: [links]

#10 drill bit = 0.1935 inches more
≈ 3/16 inches rounded down
#10 drill bit = 387/2000 inches
≈ 13/64 inches rounded up more
0.1935 decimal as a fraction is 387/2000. However, standard fractional drill bits come in intervals of 1/64 inches. Therefore, there are no standard fractional drill bits that are the exact 387/2000 fraction that the #10 drill bit is. To find the closest gauge wire #10 drill bit equivalent in fractional inches, we round 387/2000 up and down to 1/64 accuracy to get the following: more
Drill Bit Size Chart
For additional information about what drill bit to use, you may also want to take a look at the Drill Bit Size Chart which includes fractional inch drill bits, gauge wire drill bits, and metric drill bits sorted by size. [links]
The drill size chart below gives fractional sizes and their metric conversions up to 1 inch.
Please note that BS 328 sizing only applies to twist drill bits. Other bit types, such as Forstner bits, will contain different size cutting surfaces. more
But, there’s more to this article than just charts.
These specialist drill bits are used for drilling centre holes at two different angles, 60 degrees and 90 degrees. They are commonly used to drill lathe centres and spotting drills, i.e.marking holes to guide twist drilling.
Fractional drill bits are definedby the ANSI B94.11M-1979 standard. [links]
To measure the diameter of a drill bit, it’s best to measure the cutting edge rather than the shank (the shank is the part that is held by the drill chuck). To get an accurate measurement, use Vernier callipers, but be aware that depending on the quality of the drill bit, there could be a tolerance error of between 5 and 15 thousandths of a unit.
Look down the left most column to find the screw size that you will be tapping a hole for or drilling a clearance hole for. Read across in the same row to find the drill size for the material you will be drilling in. If you need a clearance hole, then read across further to find the drill size for either a close fitting hole or a loose fitting hole.
The three US/English size groups are;
Drill bits come in three US/English size groups and one Metric size group.
How to use these Tables more
The Metric size group simply uses the diameter of the drill bit as a designation. (such as 1.0mm, 3.2mm, 12.7mm, etc.)
Example:
You will be using a 6-32 machine screw. Looking at the first table "US English Table", look down the left most column under "Machine Screw Size" until you come to "6". Continue across in the same horizontal row. The next column shows ".1380" which is the maximum diameter of a # 6 screw. The 3rd column "Number of Threads per Inch" indicates a choice of either 32 or 40. Choose "32" since you have a 6-32 screw. Stay in this sub-row and continue on rightward. The "Minor Diameter" is the diameter of a 6-32 from screw thread trough to screw thread trough. Now, to tap a thread, choose either "Aluminum, Brass & Plastics" for softer materials or "Stainless Steel, Steels & Iron" for harder materials depending on the material you have. If you do not need to Tap, but just drill a Clearance hole, then choose between "Close Fit" or "Free Fit". For tapping Aluminum, the drill size indicates a "36" drill. For a clearance close fit hole, the drill size indicates a "27".
Simply so, what are standard screw sizes?
Likewise, is a #8 or #10 screw bigger? Machine screws are often found in sizes of: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14—the larger the number, the larger the screw.
U.S. standard numbering systems list diameter sizes 0, 1, 2 ,3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14 and 16, and fractional sizes from 1/4" to 2" in 1/16" increments, followed by a dash and the threads per inch (from about 6 to 80), and the length.

#4 drill bit = 0.2090 inches
The purpose of this page is to give you an alternate drill bit (approximate equivalent) to drill bit gauge size Number 4 (#4). here
0.2090 decimal as a fraction is 209/1000. However, standard fractional drill bits come in intervals of 1/64 inches. Therefore, there are no standard fractional drill bits that are the exact 209/1000 fraction that the #4 drill bit is. To find the closest gauge wire #4 drill bit equivalent in fractional inches, we round 209/1000 up and down to 1/64 accuracy to get the following: [links]
Caution: Due to rounding, a 13/64 drill bit will make the hole smaller than a #4 drill bit and a 7/32 drill bit will make the hole larger than a #4 drill bit. Below we converted the fractions to decimals so you can compare more easily: here
