@Deleted User you'd be wrong then

Today's mail.

drill bits?

or solder lol

Drills and a soldering kit

Gotta practice, not great. All SMD.

And more labelmaker tape, of course.

Drills seem good, wasn't sure how they'd be, chink HSS stuff is really hit-or-miss. Haven't used them yet though.

Ive heard thier carbide is good for smaller stuff

Yeah

If it's sold as electronics stuff, it's all made there anyways

And carbide is less of an involved process. Make a mold and heat it up. HSS has some processes involved. So the gap between good and bad is a lot smaller for carbide than HSS.

I'm almost questioning if my drill press has little enough run-out to even use these tiny ones. It's good, but it's also good for being a 5/8 chuck, so that might still be too much for these.

I'll try the 2mm in a hand drill and report back.

Order a chinkshit dial indicator, friend

Have one, can't remember what it got.

Fuck it, I'll check.

HSS needs heat treatment. Carbide is a less involving process for sure

Ha, nevermind, should be fine, 4 thou at around 3.5"

Yeah, drills work well. Good buy, 10/10

Now much did they cost compared to resharpened bits?

For those sizes, you don't sharpen, you replace.

But $3.88 I think.

That labelmaker tape was $3.75, solder kit was $2.14.

I think there are companies that buy used drill bits from CNC companies and sharpen them.

Also tfw not enough money to buy everything you want from china.

Eh, maybe in bulk, but I don't think those are the ones getting sold to consumers. People don't want used drills, even though they're fine, but you can make that pitch to customers who know what's what.

But even then, I can't see anything that small being worth it. Past 1/4" maybe.

Not china and kinda shady but google gave me https://drillcity.stores.yahoo.net/restool.html

I don't know enough about drill bits to know how large those are.
