Scott,....I was talking about WEE "Number drills",....nothing as large as .125".

You get a receiver, or barrel drilled / tapped at my place it's $25 a HOLE. (check Brownell's national Averages, that is NOT particularly "High")

I damn sure (at that price) afford a new bit or two, and am not real stingy about buying new TAPS,....either.

There's regular "Holes" and than there's the other kind, the DEAD NUTS kind.

"Hole making" is THE most dominant workplace feature in Modern American Machine shop practice,.......VOLUMES are available, should one wish to pursue the subject
