Any recommendations? The cheap sets are fine 95% of the time but I'm ready to spring for a set where all the bits are straight and accurate. |

Whatever set you get, I'm a big fan of titanium nitride coating. They last a real long time. The treatment brings the hardness up to a 72 Rc which is really hard. You can tell easily by the kind of gold color it imparts. |

I am also in the market for good drill bits for steel string building. I was thinking about these: http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=2&p=42247&cat=1,180,42240 Any suggestions for basic sizes that are commonly used? Lee Valley has carbide-tipped bits as well - are they really "worth" the extra cost? Thx! Glenn |
