Otherwise check the places Dale mentioned or Google drill bits. That will take a weekend to sift through all the hits you'll get. Try using the word jobber in your search. That is the name given to suppliers of all different things. But jobber will make sure you're dealing with someone that deals in bulk. And really for the small bits unless you are using them in a drill press you don't need more than high speed steel. The cobalt and titanium bits do a great job but the also break and cost a fortune to keep replacing. ----- Original Message ----- From: Howard Traxler To: [email protected] Cc: Howard K Traxler Sent: Monday, July 14, 2008 10:37 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Drill Bits Hi all, I imagine I'm not the only one who always breaks the three or four smallest drill bits in a set. I now have tons of larger bits and none of the very smallest, say, three sizes. As a solution, I'd like to burchase a half dozen of each of the smallest sizes instead of another whole set. What should I look for? I usually make holes in wood and soft metal such as aluminum, and sometimes in a bit hharder metal. mostly use a 3/8" to quarter" chuck. Suggestions, please? Howard K.
