Yup,

I should have mentioned Tinkers Emporium as a link to a supplier.

http://www.tinkers-emporium.com/newpage31.htm

$15.95 for 48 pieces


I was looking at HArbor Freight's 50 piece box.
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=34640

$9.95 for 50 pieces

Not big difference in price for either supplier.

Looks like Tinkers Emporium offers more control over the drill bits 
purchased, and HF offers a better price.

But, Mostly, I'm hoping for engraving cutters.
