    I have a set of #61-80 pin vise drill bits but can't find a source for sizes #54-60 without the vise itself (I have two already). A few modeling books mention several applications for a size #54, so you'd think they'd be sold somewhere.

    Ace Hardware, Micro Mark and the local hobby shop don't carry them. M.B. woo woo woo does sell a set of #52-70 for $12.59, but I'm hoping to avoid paying shipping costs that approach the item cost. Also, Amazon sells several sets, but they're measured in mm rather than the traditional numbering system. Is there a conversion chart somewhere?

    Any leads appreciated.

    You can waste a BUNCH of time looking thru the WIDGET SUPPLY website! LOL But they do have a lot of hobby supply items and good prices. I've been a customer for years.
