Place to buy carbide bits in Columbus (north side preferred)


Diamonds

Recommended Posts

Lowes and Home Depot both have decent bits maybe not carbide though. Unless your drilling out locks on regular bases you most likely don't need carbide. I will assume your trying to fubar some gun parts and there is no gun part I have run into that needs carbide. Maybe some Targets?

 

If must for the $15 a single drill bit carbide stuff maybe Amazon, MSCdirect, or McMastercarr.
