Cheap place to buy a 5/8" drill bit

Nov 05, 2004 6 Replies

I would like to buy one for drilling steel. The best I saw was for $25 at McMaster-Carr. Any better places?


I can't testify to the quality, but you can get a whole set of eight Silver & Deming drill bits from Harbor Freight for $17.99.

I got one a while ago and the few times I've used the drills on mild steel they have held up OK.

HTH,

I got a set and finally used the 3/4-incher to drill out my expensive ($4.99 on sale) HF tablesaw blades. Old Dina (1920's tablesaur from Hollywood) has a larger-than-normal arbor. It worked OK, but I'm not sure how long it'll hold up. I really should get some cutting oil...
