What I need is a place I can buy individual bits in assorted sizes. I am missing bits down in the middle of the set, but don't want to buy 6 bits in each size.

Mike Kurta ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Nossaman To: Pianotech ; pianotech at googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, March 03, 2013 10:32 AM Subject: [pianotech] number drills from MicroMark 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 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
