I'm looking for a 14mm brad-point bit. Rockler is sold out until February. Who else is a good source for things like this?

Did you look at McMaster Carr?
Yes I did - something like $34 for one 14mm brad point bit. Lee Valley (thanks, Nova) has 'em for eight clams.
Youza... That's mighty steep.
but you get it the next day so it's not so bad.
True, true. But that $8 Lee Valley item is eight CANADIAN smackers. Comes to $5.50 US. It's worth the wait.
Greetings- I assume 9/16 is not close enough ? 0.5625 vs. 0.5512.
It's for a metric barrel hinge. Mfgr sez the fit has to be just right. Hate to see the door fall off -- as there is no fallback position -- so I'll stick with the mfgr's recommendation on this one.
Lee Valley in their latest catalog has metric brad point drill bits

Yup, and that's who I ordered from. At a pretty good price, too.
Any of our distributors can obtain a 14mm brad point drill for you. We are in stock on this item at this time. Email me your zipcode and I'll see if we have a dealer near you.

Thanks, Robert -- Lee Valley has them for about US$ 5.50, I ordered one a week ago.
