1817 forum posts 2 photos	Hello Gentlemen, I should have been more specific. I was really after HSS. Nigel B seems to have hit the jackpot with the Cromwell drill blanks. These are said to be HSS. But as they are described as drill blanks, I am not 100 % certain. One way to find out for sure I suppose! Thanks everyone! Andrew.
