Reduced Shaft drill bits - for a dremel
I'm chasing a set of drill bits that have reduced shaft to fit in a dremel (3.2mm)
I found a set online in the Netherlands for € 9.33, that has a 3,4,5 and 6mm bits. This would be ideal for what I need.

Anyone know if I can pick something like this up in Australia?

You could try fitting a keyless chuck - check out http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Dremel-4486-K...QQcmdZViewItem

P.S. What are you trying to drill with bits that size in a dremel? Sounds like the job for a larger drill?

I can't check the ebay link as work blocks ebay
My new hobby is remote control boats. Inside the hull are two ply engine rails that are spaced 5" apart. To mount the engine, hardware etc I need to drill holes through the ply.
I have a right angle attachment for my full size drill but it is still too big to get in where I need to drill. The right angle attachment on the dremel will fit in there nicley. I just need to drill bigger than 3mm.

Not Australia, but a good source of small tools for the model maker, http://www.micromark.com/ Search for drill sets there. They do deliver to Australia, a mate gets stuff from them.

you could try an engineering workshop that has a metal working lathe and have the ends of the drills turned down to the size you need to fit the dremel. when i was in the trade we would do this quite often,just throw them into the 3 jaw chuck and turn the shank to the size

The ebay link is for a Dremel #4486 Keyless Chuck (Brand new with Free Gift!) for $16. I don't think it will go to 6 mm though.
