    Good point.


    Not having much luck today.
    1 HSS and 1 Carbide down so far and I have only been in the shop for a couple hours -_-

    Gives me an excuse to buy some more bits.
    Grabbed a 1.2mm for my M1.6 tapped holes (probably swap for 0.3mm as M1.6 holes are meant to be tapped at 1.25mm not 1.2mm).
    Also got a 2.5mm for my M3 tapped holes and a spot drill.
