Hi! Can anyone help me out. I need some kind of a guide (possibly a tabulated scheme) on what size of drill-bits I need to use for different size metric rawl-bolts. The anchor shield is bigger than the bolt itself, but are there any ratios such as for instance 8mm bolt: 13mm hole?
 
Great post Tim!!! I had no idea until I looked at your link that you could still get fibre rawlplugs. Put some wall cabinets up with them 30 years ago and need to move them. Been dreading it as I never found plastic ones as good as the old fibre ones.
