Brad point drills
Hello every one.
I am after brad point drill bits.
They have to be 3/8th. Not 9mm or 10mm but 3/8th. Carbatec, Total Tools, bunnies, and Home Timber and Hardwear don't sell imperial ones. Any one know where I can get 10 of them.
Dowel doesnt come in 9mm or 10mm it comes in 9.6mm essentualy 3/8th,
very annoying
. Especialy when you use the dowel for axels in project's.
Hope you can help
Regards Jamie

If you can get yourself a 2.5mm white grinding wheel for your bench grinder, you can just grind a normal 3/8" drill bit into a brad point. Plus it means you can sharpen them forever.
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

Jamie,

Suttons make a HSS drill bit [edit: I meant to write brad-point drill bit] in 3/8" (at least, they did 2 years ago.) Their minimum special order pack is 10
Call Total Tools again, speak to one of the senior reps and ask if they can order in a 10 pack. Either that, or buy a 10 pack of standard drill bits and regrind them. You'll be needing to resharpen the drill bit anyways...
Cheers,
