PCB drill bits in Canada?

2008-12-31 by magor432

Hello,
I'm new to the world of home pcb making. I am working on a project
that calls for a pcb and I have decided to make my own in order to
learn. I have already created the files in Eagle, I have a laser
printer, paper, board, etchant, etc.. basically everything needed to
make the board. The only problem now is drilling the board once it's made.

I'm having one heck of a hard time finding the appropriately sized
drill bits in Canada. I'm in need of 0.8mm, 0.9mm (for ethernet
holes), and 1mm bits and the only places that I have been able to find
them are http://drillcity.stores.yahoo.net/ and
http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/. I have a rotary drill with a
0.125 inch collet (this seems to be standard) so it's only getting the
bits that is the problem.

I'm wondering if any of the Canadian members of this group could let
me know where they get their small bits.

I am excited to start and this is the only thing holding me back.

Thank you!
