Default DLE 30 and prop

Hello, I have a DLE 30 and a Xoar prop for it. A 3/8 drill bit is slightly smaller then the shaft of the DLE. Will the 3/8 drill bit work or do I need a metric drill bit (is there such a thing as a metric drill bit?) The local hobby shop doesnt deal with gas engines so they counldn't help.
Thanks for your input.

Dude....

Go to Tower Hobbies and order a metric reamer.

You will require a 10mm drill bit and a 4mm drill bit to drill the prop for the DLE30. The reamer will do the job also.

Cheers
