Does anyone know of a local (near Raleigh) dealer that carries, in stock, a 7mm twist drill bit. I have a brad point but need a standard twist bit.
Thanks
George

You might try HF. I bought a 115 pc. twist bit set there, and it has just about every bit you could ever need for pen turning, and just about anything else. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=32928
It does cost more than a single bit, but it's a deal for what you get. I haven't had to order any new bit for different pen kits. It's paid itself off that way.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Those bent ones were for drilling elongated holes to allow for wood movement....you got a bonus 
There are some really small bits in that set, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they came loose and got bounced around on the slow boat from China...probably shipped during hurricane season

George, a I or J bit will work great in lieu of a 7mm they are only .001 different in either direction.
Also a 45/64th" bit is only a couple 100th larger

George, DaveO is right an I or J Letter drill will work and you should be able to get it at your local hardware store. It may cost 2 to 5 $$$.

$4.22 for a high quality Cleveland Twist Drill bit at J&L Industrial supply. Shipping will probably cost more than the bit... | |
