Recommendation for small drill bits - Finescale Modeler Forum

For #61 to #80, I use this miniature drill bit set from Hout.

Hout is a leader in HSS (high speed steel) commerical drill bits. Knock wood, I’ve yet to break one (of course, now having said that I’m doomed). I was going to recommend buying mini drill bits only at a commercial supply vendor such as MSC, but as you can see they popped up on Amazon when I googled Hout miniature drill bit set.

From Amazon you only get the metal box and NO drill bits. I placed an order and re read the description and reviews and promptly canceled it. Thought it was too good to be true since Huot sets are expensive.

I have the same Huot set as you and is well over 30 years old. I just replaced 7 bits that have broken thru the years with ones from Gyros that I got thru Home Depot on line. They are made in the USA and are very sharp. I just used the #80 bit to drill out a plastic pitot tube on my Val and it worked the same as the Huot bits. I attempted to drill the part with the set I got on ebay from China and the #80 bit didn’t even dent the plastic!
