Yes I did - something like $34 for one 14mm brad point bit. Lee Valley
(thanks, Nova) has 'em for eight clams.

but you get it the next day so it's not so bad.

True, true. But that $8 Lee Valley item is eight CANADIAN smackers.
Comes to $5.50 US. It's worth the wait.

It's for a metric barrel hinge. Mfgr sez the fit has to be just right.
Hate to see the door fall off -- as there is no fallback position -- so
I'll stick with the mfgr's recommendation on this one.

Yup, and that's who I ordered from. At a pretty good price, too.

Any of our distributors can obtain a 14mm brad point drill for you. We
are in stock on this item at this time. Email me your zipcode and I'll
see if we have a dealer near you.

Thanks, Robert -- Lee Valley has them for about US$ 5.50, I ordered one
a week ago.
