That led to Think & Tinker which I've heard of favorably before, so I made out an order, but they declined the card, and when I tried to back up and check it (there's a 5 digit balance), they cleared the order page. Not a friendly site at all for for doing business over the net. > These guys sell resharpened bits at an attractive price: > http://drillcity.stores.yahoo.net/index.html . Who wanted my registration data before they would let me look, scroooom. > Also, I recently found > an assortment of 10 microdrills at Harbor Freight for <$5. I didn't find that, and their numbered drills down to #60 for a $20 bill were TiN coated but ultra cheap steel, I have a set of those someplace, none of which are even straight, nor were they the size marked! Thanks Greg, I guess I'll go back to Think & Tinker & try again, that did look like a decent quality product. Never did make the web order form transfer the basket to checkout, called, they got snotty, hung up. I also tried Hosfelt Electronics which had good prices on re-sharps, but either firefox 10, or their shopping cart SW is broken. I have repeatedly fill up my 'basket' with $65 to $85 worth of stuff, but when I click on checkout, the basket is empty. Good prices but gave up. Called, but girl refused to take order without creating an account first. Conclusion, FF 10 must be broken somehow. So I wind up at Midwest Circuit Technology, <http://www.mctinfo.net/carbide-drill-bit/cat_17.html> paid a wee bit more for brand new stuff, couldn't make his web page work either (still FF 10), so I called. For half the shipping everybody else wants for ground ups, it will be here tomorrow by post. Hell of a deal IMO. I'll pay gladly for that sort of service. Larry and I spent nearly half an hour yakking on the LL horn because he was curious about what I was doing with the stuff. I will do business with them again! Warning, Larry monitors the page, and will send you a chat message when you click on the link. Rings a loud gong here when it comes in. ;-) Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
