Need source for #30 & #40 drill bits in bulk

[wrongway john]

Anybody know of a good source for those particular two drill bit sizes that will let you buy in bulk at a discounted price? Seems like every company I?ve ran across wants you to buy one to two in a package, or buy an assortment of drill bits with every size imaginable, while not letting us concentrate on our particular sizes we need. Any leads would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I bought mine from either Cleavland or Avery-----maybe both.

Call them----both really good folks to work with.

I do not know the answer to your question but I, too, like to have sharp drill bits so I purchased a bit sharpener. Specifically, I acquired the higher end Drill Doctor (750x, I think) which can be set for greater angles than normally found. This allows me to sharpen and split the points on all my dull bits and provides me a way to modify bits for plexiglas work. I have about twelve bits in each size and just put them in a container when they're dull and sharpen them all at a single session. (Takes about three or four minutes a bit.)

I hope this suggestion is of use.

Ditto. I'm sure they will sell in whatever quantity you want. I know at least one of them has bags of 6ea #30s and #40s ready to go.

Always good for quick delivery - can be pricey though.
