Drills in UK

[Buster]

For those of us in the UK, Lidl have these precision drill sets for not much money, on sale now.

Apologies for the crummy mobile phone pictures and trashed packaging, I just wanted to get the info out there whilst they are in the shops.

If anyone missed them and wants a set PM me and I'll see if we still have stock locally, They did have loads earlier this week.

I have shown a 50p for scale

Please be aware, that those types of drill bits are designed and suitable for PCB (printed circuit boards). Such drill bits are primarily used in automated machines and CNCs. To drill holes in the board efficiently they have specific sharpening with a point angle of 130 degrees.



While they are relatively cheap, they are not designed for wood and metal. I personally used them on many occasions, and not happy. For our purpoce we should use machinist type of drills, IMHO.

They also designed for high speeds. At low speed they search in the material and the hole will be not circulair. They also break very easy because they are very hard. Not for a handdrill because of that.
