Small drill bits

[Kaleb]

Ive been looking for some small drill bits for awhile. The smallest I found is 1:64 is this the best to use for wire or 1:32?

Wow thanks I'll keep watch on those.

I just bought 24 1:32 drill bits they seemed to be the right size. That was before these sets.

Harbor Freight has a set ot two to choose from. Cheap. Size starts at tiny, very tiny. Pin vice and/or Dremel work with these. All have 1/8" shank. These make for a nice set.

Got my set off ebay for $5 10 sizes all small then 1/32.

What you really need to look for are Wire Gauge drill bits, also commonly called Pin Drills. Most sets run from #61 (.039" ) to #80 (.013" ). A well stocked hobby shop should have them, Zona makes a very nice set, as does Exel. You can also find them at any hardware store.

BTW, 1/32" is .0313, which is equivalent to a #68 drill.

Sears has a pin vice set for about $7.

You can get the #60-81 drill index set inexpensively at a welding supply company. They call them tip cleaners for gas welders.

If you need to drill into metal with a power drill or mill be careful. You will need a higher grade drill such as these on amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HXMOYK/ref=oh_o03_s00_i00_details They have every size you will need.
