   I'm not sure what sizes you need, but Lee Valley has brad point metric in sets, see here. They have both carbon and HSS sets.

   " . . . All things boring...."Isn't that a, uh, bit much? Or, were you trying to, uh, spur additional discussion? ;-)

   I have a set of metric and inch from someplace. I recall the inch are 1/16 inch apart? Hard to tell the difference for woodworking! Metal working maybe but do anybody use brad points for metal?

    Does anybody use brad points for metal?

    

    

   I very much doubt it.

   That was not really a question.

   Just my stupid way to say at 1/16 inch in wood it hardly matters what drills you use for most projects. Metal maybe...

   I know someone who tried drilling aluminum with a brad point. They didn't get too far. To anyone curious, don't bother trying to drill metal with a brad point.EDIT: Just in case anyone had any sense of doubt!Chris @ http://www.flairwoodworks.com
