i think you can get a 1/16 to 1/2 in 64ths hss, morse brand set, for about $80, cobalt for about $150. the industrial import set 1/16 to 1/2 in 64th $40 for hss, $75 for cobalt. tin coated hss was in between. that's what they were running a couple of years ago. let me say i have never bought a brand new set in my life. i like to hunt for used quality sets and resharped/ buy single replacements. that works the best for me. i have also found the industrial import single replacement drills i have bought have held up extreamly well. there is a world of difference in them and box store type drills, at least in my limited experience. i am someone who has broken a lot of drills and still do on occasion. the harder they are the easier they are to break. i think they make some surface treated 118deg drils that might be less prone to breakage. someday i will be rich enough to buy the big combo sets in all hss, tin, and cobalt; prob after i don't have any more holes to drill.
