To Holly and all.. I've been away, and there's been much about
this... But two thoughts:
Sharpening wire size drill bits with a separating disk is pretty
common practice, and easy to do with a steady hand. I use a
Crystallite diamond wheel because I have it, instead.
More to the point - many here rely on some jewelry supplier or
another - often Rio - for absolutely everything, which I'm familiar
with but it's a mistake, really. Rio doesn't have LOTS of stuff, and
neither do the others. When you need serious steel stuff - drills,
cutters, machinery, you're better off going to the steel business
for it.
Many here like McMaster-Carr http://www.mcmaster.com/ I like
https://www.travers.com/ a lot. There is http://www.enco.com, which
tends to the cheaper imports. Even grizzly isn't too bad. Another
biggie is http://www1.mscdirect.com/cgi/nnsrhm and there are many
others - http://www.wttool.com/, http://www.reidsupply.com/.
Actually, your local Home Depot or Ace hardware has some pretty
decent drills in a limited size range. Bosch....... BTW,
http://www.littlemachineshop.com/ is most useful, too, but generally
for other reasons - small scale tooling. Any of those carry drills
that are specific to metals and/or applications running from circuit
board to aerospace. Don't be afraid to branch out with your sources.
Jewelry = jewelers suppy, steel =steel supply, etc.
