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