@ShaiwalRawat

so a 5mm holes is .19685" imperial so good news your .125" endmill will work for creating those holes

now do you want to create a threaded hole or do you want to make just a straight 5mm hole to a certain depth?

if you would like to make a threaded hole then you will need a threading tool that will be a little hard to find for wood but is not out of the question

I would suggest that you use a threaded insert like in the factory x-carve wasteboard

I do believe that inventables has cad drawings for the wasteboard so if you give them a call they will gladly tell you where they are I think grabcad

because to install the threaded insert you will need to bore a larger hole but not a problem your .125" endmill will do the job just fine

make sure and let us know how this turns out
