I want a good set, minimal runout, of brad point bits. I have the cheapo HF set, but the runout is horrible. I probably want 1/8 to 1/2 by 1/16 steps. Any reason to get a set in the 1/32 or 1/64 steps?
Lee Valley?

thanks, good post
they also have some regular hss bits and presumably some tapered pilot/shank/countersink kits

Have you checked your drill press for runout . . .? I have a gut feeling that drill bits are more consistent than your drill arbor and chuck . . .
