moreplovac Posted June 8, 2019 Share #1 Posted June 8, 2019 Hello, can anyone suggest a good place where i can get a mini drill bits in bulk, not sets? For example where can i get a 15 pieces of 0.3mm, 10 pieces of 0.4mm and 20 pieces of 0.5mm bits? I dont want to buy a sets, just individual sizes. I have researched a bit online but not quite useful results showed up (or maybe i dont use correct terms).. Appreciate assistance.. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaddoc Posted June 8, 2019 Share #2 Posted June 8, 2019 Ebay really. Sometimes Aliexpress. I go through a lot of drills, almost all from ebay.

Bob Cleek Posted June 9, 2019 Share #4 Posted June 9, 2019 MicroMark sells wire gauge numbered drill bits in all sizes in tubes of six. I've bought them in the past in tubes of a dozen. They are sometimes a sale item. When they are on sale, I stock up. They break easily and from a hobby shop at six bits or a buck apiece, that can add up fast! https://www.micromark.com/search?keywords=Drill bits Canute, moreplovac, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhearl Posted June 9, 2019 Share #6 Posted June 9, 2019 Since your profile doesn't list where you are located, I don't know if you want to buy from a company in the US, but one reasonable source of small bits is Drills and Cutters. https://drillsandcutters.com/surface-treated-drills-metric/ They will sell individual bits in any quantity you order although standard packaging is for 12 bits. Their quality is good and prices are reasonable. I've bought bits from Amazon and got some that were just horrible, so you're taking your chances with them.
