Shame on me
I've determined the source of my problem with the 1/2" iron pipe not fitting into the 13/16" hole. It's pretty obvious actually. "I have met the enemy and it is me"...
When I 'casually' measured the O.D. of the 1/2" and 3/4" pipe I got 3/4" and 1" respectively. Wrong!
The 3/4" pipe actually measured 1.05" which is why the 1-1/16" hole fit great since it is 1.063".
However, the 1/2" pipe that I thought was 3/4" O.D. was actually .866" and a 13/16" bit is only .8125". Consequently the bit that comes the nearest without being under is a 22mm.
Regards,
George
