Drill size?

Posted by Bob in N. Ga. on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 at 07:31:23 :

I've just bought a 5/16" 18tpi tap at the local hardware. Nobody in the store seems to know what an "F" size drill bit is. Lots of guesses...

Anybody KNOW what size an F drill bit in fractions is, like 17/64 or something like that?
