Any one know a source of 3/32" round toolsteel? Or will I have to go metric to get something close?

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.

If they're hardened and ground all over without back taper, there doesn't seem much room for doubt.
