Thread: 5/8 Drill bit?

Give Trade Tools a look-see. Don't think their website lists drill bits but they definitely stock several lines. Their own brand plus one or two others. They offered me a 5/8 reduced shank when I was looking for something under 16mm the other day.

I found one somewhere, not cheap.
I got it to drill holes in handles for 5/8 gouges, you want to borrow it?
I can post it down on loan.

That's exactly what I want it for Cliff, would you mind if I did borrow? Will send a PM. Thank you.

OK, I'll dig it out.

Thanks in advance

Hi Scott,
Try The Camberwell Market, this coming Sunday.
You just missed The HTPAA Tool Sale, at the Glenferry Primary School. could have bought them for a couple of $'s or less. It was on Sun. 11th. Nov.

For this sort of future requirements, try Blackwoods, Scott.....

DRILL 1/2" REDUCED SHANK H.S.S. 5/8" (0573 3107) | Blackwoods

I think I got mine from an Engineering supplies place.

I only every use it for drilling the holes in handles for 5/8 bowl gouges.

I have loaned it out for this before.

I got my drill back with a nice little burl blank, thanks for that.
