Drill bits/Reams?

Hey everyone, where do you get your drill bits/reams from? I'm needing to purchase some so I can put some holes in my frame! A bottom cut 3/8 ream would be ideal for my No Limit relocators. The place I work at has a machine shop so surely they can make a ream into a bottom cut if I need to go that route lol

Re: Drill bits/Reams?

got to them and get an msc catolage or go to msc online and order what you need. best place for all metal working supplys. just dont but cheep chinese junk. spend the $$ and get quality drills. then use them in a corded drill and not to fast to burn them up. will last a long time. use cuttting oil too.

Re: Drill bits/Reams?

I've been use'n Cromate bill bit's and hole saw's, best I've ever seen. just drill'd a couple dozen 5/8 hole's in my frame, last hole went as quick as the first.
not sure on the cost, mine were issue'd to me.

Re: Drill bits/Reams?

not in that size but I grab 2 packs of these a year for starter holes [then I use a step bit for the size needed]

I love the hex shank and they do work well and last for many many holes, toss away when dull.

Re: Drill bits/Reams?

So, what you need are blind holes?

As for easy to find cutting tool brands, I like Irwin.
With the proper speed & feed, they last me just fine.
