I use a 3/8 bit for tapping fine thread, or a 11/32 for coarse threads.
It depends on the material you are fitting it into. In most wood I pre-drill a 1/4 hole for this. In softer woods i would drill a smaller hole .

The size of an electric drill is primarily determined by its chuck size, which indicates the maximum diameter of the drill bit it can accommodate. Common chuck sizes include 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch, and 1/2 inch, affecting the drill's versatility for different tasks. Additionally, the drill's power, measured in amps or voltage, influences its size and performance capabilities. Overall, the combination of chuck size, power, and design features determines the drill's overall size and suitability for various applications.
It's 0.1160 of an inch, or a tiny,tiny bit less than 1/8 inch.
You are not expressing the size correctly. -There is NO 054. -If you mean 0.054 of an inch, then the nearest drill size is a #54 drill, which is 1.397 mm thick.
