 |

It's probably waaaay too late to catch anyone from UK online who
might be going to Sun'n'Fun, but I'll try anyway.
If any UK-based person at Sun'n'Fun sees for sale short drill bits
(about half-inch working length) with quarter-28 male threaded shanks
for use in angle drives, please pick up a handful (one of each size)
for me & I'll pay whatever it costs when you get them back to UK
(I'll travel to collect).
I got a selection wih my tight-fit drill kit, but some are now
getting a bit worn (glass is tough to drill) and are impossible to
sharpen in a normal drill sharpening jig. I'm looking for as wide a
selection of sizes as are available. Aircraft Spruce has them at $2 -
$3 each. If you find them at those prices (or better), I'll have 2
(or even 3) of each available size if your pockets will hold them.
Put up a reply here if you're able to help - I don't want 10 people
all fetching drills - although I suppose I could sell any surplus to
the RV crowd 
regards
Rowland

you could make an extension piece (say 3/8 D) with a tapped hole that
would fit in a drill jig?

Tightfittools now have a web site at Tightfittools.com. They are very
helpful and post parts to the UK.

Ian - thanks! I'll investigate. Glad to hear that some US outfits
recognise potential markets outside their own borders!

Dan - thanks for the thought, but Amazon.com (like many rather
parochial firms in USA) don't deliver outside USA, and Amazon.co.uk
don't stock those drill bits.

Rowland,
If you still get stuck I am based in the US but would be happy to order the
items up for you and send them over. I have a UK Bank account and we could
pre-agree the costs etc. Although I hope the Tightfittools will be able to
help you.

Robert - thanks, but I hope that won't now be needed. My posting was
made in some haste at the end of the day, and I ignored the obvious
approach of checking to see if the original supplier would deliver to
UK!
Fergus mentioned his difficulty with getting stuff to Canada, and the
TruTrak people tell me they have had a lot of hassles when trying to
despatch autopilot stuff to outside USA. However, a few drill bits
are unlikely to compromise homeland security.
