Other jobs for a 25.5 mm

Hard-material tap drill: The size to use in stainless or tool steel for M27 x 2, where it leaves a shallower thread than the standard drill and cuts tapping torque.
Form-tap hole: The published roll-tap hole for M27 x 3. A form tap displaces metal instead of cutting it, so it needs this larger hole.
