Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

- best cobalt set ???
I have been very impressed with KBC house brand bits. I bought 2 set of stub length drill bits, a fractional and a letter set. I've been using them for a couple of years and they seem to stand up as well as the Dormer and Cle-line bits I have.

There are on a special high security section at low, low price of $999.99 per set
I think we are not talking here about full carbide drill bits - these are expensive even from China (like few times more then same size end mills).https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/search-results.html?q=carbide
Maybe these are carbide tipped masonry bits or carbide tipped glass / tile bits.
It is possible (never tried myself) to use masonry bit on a very hard steel to start the hole or even drill through one. I assume this is for un precise hole that will have rather nasty look & you do not care about the bit.
That’s great to hear !! I will give them a try next kbc order !!
One thing I ordered from them that is a really impressive, useful takes up less space in my portable box is expandable transfer punch set !!!
thanks for all the feedback everyone
