I bought 5 sets from China on ebay.

I presume you will use them for drilling pcb's?

In case you don't already know, be warned they break Reeeeeealy easy!
That's why I bought 5 sets.  Cheap enough...

Use them in a drill press and go slow.

The one's I broke were all a result of my trying to use a hand drill...   "just this once... I'll be careful"..... Ha!  Snap!

For some reason I didn't think of eBay?
Thanks for that.

Drillbit City resharpened carbides are a good deal: http://drillcity.stores.yahoo.net/restool.html

I have theirs but didn't ship them to Canada, shipping was extreme. I only use two sizes so when i've finished breaking all the ones i have i'll just tack a few onto a Small Bear order as long as they're still available?

I've used Drill Bit City and Drill Bits Unlimited with good success.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
As davent said, shipping to Canada is usually very sad.
I'll try the eBay ones for now.

What size are you using? davent and others.

Thanks

Hi Al, i use a #71 (0.026"), that covers just about every component lead used in pedal building and then a #65(0.035") covers the rest, big diodes, 22awg wire. That said i'm going one size bigger on each when i re-order, will make reworking boards easier. #70 (0.028"/0.71mm) & #64 (0.036"/0.91mm).

Also have a pack of tiny HSS bits if i need to re-size to other odd sizes.
