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>Ron N<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
