I haven't got the skill or patience to do regrinding of small drills !

What I am using is a 3.05 carbide drill from this guy http://www.circuit2u.co.uk/epages/63...rill%20Bits%22 He supplies 1st regrind bits at a good price. I am pecking the hole, but am going to play around with the peck and spindle speeds to see what happens.

Cheers,
