I need to tap some aluminum stock. So I went out and purchased one of these cheap tap and die sets.

Never used a tap and die in my life. I would think that it would list some whre the drill size for the bit but it does not. The bit I want to use is simply marked 5/16"-18. What drill size would I use? 5/16"?
