I have been unable to locate a source for 6" long 1/16" H.S. steel
drill bits. Does anyone have a source for these? I only need these
to drill through cast aluminum at low RPM. Alternatively, if I got
some .062" piano wire could I use my drill bit sharpener to make my
own? Thank you.

Precision Twist Drill shows 6" and 12" aircraft style drills in their
catalogue. MSC or any machinist supply house would be a good bet.
