14mm Drill for 14mm Barrel Hinge.

[Pat]

I am having the hardest time finding a 14mm brad point drill here in the SF. bay area. Does anybody have any suggestions. I tried woodcraft, Sothern Lumber, and all the usual places Sears, Home Depot etc. I even tried CB Tools.

If anybody has succesfully installed the 14mm hinge using a non metric drill bit I would be interested. I tried 9/16ths but it is too big.

Thanks.

Go to Google- 14mm brad point drill. Many to choose from

According to the Rockler web site they have several stores in California--I believe the closest to you would be in Pleasant Hill but check <

Thanks for your help. I found several on google.. Lee Valley is a good choice.. but I wanted to pick it up today, hence my request for a ideas about where I could buy it in the FS bay area.

Rockler no longer sell the 14mm Brad Drill bit. At least according to their on-line catalog.

In the end I ordered it from Amazon.

You should try Leevalley.com just checked their site, they definitely have a forstner drill bit 14mm. The article no is 06J72.14, price $6,40 Since you write that you want to install a hinge, imho a forstner bit is anyway more suitable than a brad point tip.
