Jobber vs screw length drill bits

[kmanuele]

Brand new to this site, and a beginner machinist -- though not a newbie to building things.

I have not been able to find a source of metric drill bits in screw length -- at least none labeled as such.

Anyone know of sources?

What do US manufacturers who build in metric use?

thanks

McMaster has them.

The closest decimal equivalent. At least that's been true at two of my last three jobs. Oh...it's all repair work. Not machining to prints with tolerances.

You can try these guys, I haven't had a chance to buy anything from them yet but I too am always on the lookout for metric bits.
