Was looking for a set of decent brad point drill bits. I found this
Craftsman set:

I know not everyone speaks highly of Craftsman quality... I'm hoping
that since they are 6 for $40, there are quite good (3/8" shanks). I
get wary when I see bits for between a quarter and $2 each. I guess
the main issue might be "run out".

Where would you be shopping for brad point drill bits (for joinery)?

Thanks,
Bill

Bill,

Give Lee Valley a look:

The also have some info about brad point bits.


I have the Lee Valley brad point bits. I really like them. They are sharp
enough that they are a little scary to use. I received a top rating in one
of the woodworking magazine tests a couple of years ago.
