Hi All.

Just wondering if anyone out there knows a reliable supplier of small drill bits. I am after some size #80 bits but want to buy 10 at a time. I know of only one place that sells them in a small plastic tube, but they want a minimum foreign order of $150!!!

Thanks

I pick up my tubes of drills from Model Expo especially when they go on sale.
Can't help with what foreign shipping costs or if they have a minimum foreign order, etc through.

You can get them from Micro Mark, http://www.micromark.com/ they have no minimum orders and overseas shipping is charged by weight so it should be inexpensive.

what a coincidence that i'm also looking for #80 bits.
I tried micromark but their online shipping calculated a ridiculous charge and it is 105% more than the bit itself.
