How the size of drill bit is measured?
Typical drill bits have markings somewhere on the shank above the threads. It's small, but it usually has the drill-bit diameter stamped into the metal; the number
is written in fractions
. For example, the markings may read: 1/4-inch, 3/6-inch or 25/32.
What can I use if I don't have a 5'8 drill bit?
If you break it down to 16th's, 5/8ths is
10/16ths
. So the next size larger would be 11/16th's. If you want to stay in 1/8ths, than obviously it's 6/8ths or 3/4′′. If you break it down to 16th's, 5/8ths is 10/16ths.

What happens if you don't have a right size drill bit?
The
drill bit should be the same size as the shaft of the screw without accounting
for the threads. To do this, simply line up a screw side by side with the drill bit. If they're the same size, then you're good to go. You can also look for the measurements labeled on most bits and screws.
What size hole do you drill for a 5/16 lag bolt?
For a 5/16-in. lag bolt, that works out to be
about 7/32 in.
The unscientific approach that I've always used is just lining up drill bits with the threaded part of the lag to find the one that is closest to the minor diameter. When in doubt, err on the smaller side.
