Most if not all fabs I've tried now use drills sized in 0.1mm increments. But it isn't clear to me whether they have any standardised way of applying those stepped sizes to customer's jobs, especially on PTH.
What I'd *expect* is they would use the nearest drill size that provides a finished hole matching or larger than the specified hole (obviously not larger by more than one drill size step).
Some appear to work on providing a finished hole of the *nearest* size to that specified, i.e. +/- 2 thou if using 0.1mm drill size steps.
Is there a "standardised" practice? What do you guys find?
(just p####d off after having to carefully ream half the plating out of 450 holes that were IMHO fabbed undersize).
