Don, I coincidentally saw a multi-pack of those on the HF site while I 
was looking (maybe a 50pc). It was under $10. They looked like the 
refurbs I just bought, which all have eighth inch shanks.

I still can't get over that brand and some of the prices on the larger 
power tools at that site. There's an angle grinder in there for $9.95. 
At those prices, worst case scenario, some of that crap could be good 
for a laugh after it breaks (maybe not immediately afterward).

I'm still wondering if anyone's used a cordless or 12V type roto for 
PCB. I'm not sure they'll have them connected for listening. FWIW, my 
etched holes and pads are usually enough to keep down any significant 
side to side bit play, and I've got a larger press and several power 
drills for bigger holes, so a cheap chuck or a tad less power may not 
kill me.

             -Thanks!
George

PS Don- Just an uneducated guess, but it may be possible that the 
resharpened stuff isn't all that much different than new. It sounded 
like they're constantly being popped out of high quantity drilling 
machines as they dull, and going right back to whomever shaped the 
edge to begin with (could be wrong though). I hate to admit it, but 
I've gotten lazy and cut with a broken one before. At the PCB speeds, 
I almost couldn't tell the difference.
