If you need smaller, you can get a 61-80 set from Micro-tools
http://www.micro-tools.com for 8 bucks. If you need smaller than #80
(.0135), McMaster http://www.mcmaster.com has specialty bits down
to .0019 but they're on a 1/32" shank, have limited flute length, and cost
about 12 bucks a shot. http://www.store.yahoo.com/drillcity/ has a good
assortment as well, including resharpened carbide microbits.

Thank you. My local Ace used to carry the really small # drills, but now
they've dropped the "Ace" logo and only carry down to #60 - don't know
if the two observations are related or not.

Tips fer Turnin': Place a sign, easily seen as you switch on your lathe, warning you to remove any and all rings from your fingers. Called degloving, extended hardware can grab your ring and rip it off your finger. A pic for the strong of stomach: www.itim.nsw.gov.au/go/objectid/2A3AC703-1321-1C29-70B067DC88E16BFC/index.cfm

Besides, rings can easily mar the surface of a turning as you check for finished smoothness.
