For those who use number drills in the shop: Keeping a full set of number drills around is a challenge for me. I find that after a few years, or five, or ten, that set tends to thin out in the smaller sizes. They get broken, dulled, or just disappear mysteriously. I can adequately freehand sharpen the larger half of a set as I need to, but the smaller half is well beyond me. Back filling sets with individual bits is the first option if you can keep a running list of needed replacements. MicroMark has another option that I haven't seen anywhere else. They sell bit sets of #41-#60 (Item # 82727) for $22. I thought someone might find this useful. Ron N
