I'm about to install my Wilson Combat (Scattergun Tech) tritium ghost ring sites, and the instructions call for drilling holes with a #33 drill bit.

I've checked the web, and found that a #33 drill bit is actually 0.133". Wow, big help eh? :)

Anyone know if this is something easily found at Rona/Home Depot, or is this something I'll need to find at some specialty store?

Any info is appreciated! Thanks in advance!
 
Hobby stores often have all the really tiny drill bits. I don't know if they're high speed steel though. I don't know if they would be good for drilling metal.
 
None of the retail places like Cdn tire, Home Depot or such will have individual bits.
You either have to buy a big drill index or go to a tool supply place. The tool supply store will sell single bits.

If you have any trouble getting an individual drill at your local industrial supply shop, I'll donate a .50 stamp and mail you a couple.
Just answer this skill testing question: do you hate liberals? :p
 
Thanks for the help guys! I think I'll try Princess Auto tomorrow. I don't need an entire set, just the one!

Liberal-hater: thanks for the offer! If I can't find one tomorrow, I might take you up on your generous offer. Much appreciated.

And yes, believe me when I say your obvious disdain for liberals is shared by me.. :)
 
Forget about looking for a single bit at Princess Auto they will only have the number bits in full sets.

Call ACT equipment or Triad Fasteners they should have the bits in stock. If you have no luck with them send me a PM and i'll dig one up for you.
 
Thanks for the help/offers guys... I've taken up one kind gunnut on his offer.

I'd find a machine shop, but I'm too busy running around getting ready for the arrival of my first child... wife due yesterday.. still no baby... hurry up already! :)
