Where to get long series centre drills

[Tiggy_dorset]

Bought some from Gloster tools which havn't held out as long as I would like.
My search produces nothing. Anyone know where I can get some from, preferably Dorma? Don't mind bying from the States if necessary.
Long series, not the short stubby ones.

Cheers.

Thanks guys.
Cromwell do the length that I like, so might buy a couple and see. RS do Dorma which are not as long as I like but not as short as I dont like, so might buy one or two.

Yep

They make life on my pillar drill that much easier. I need to plan each job as I dont want to be raising/lowering the bed. For some jobs, the short ones are beyond the reach of the quill without adjusting the table after, which isn't ideal.

If you're using 'em in a drill press what about spotting drills http://www.guhring.com/documents/catalog/drills/ncspotdrills.pdf?

yes...

RS ? I know over here, no matter what you want, they don't have it in stock, but can get it in. Useless.

Would you not be better makeing an extension to hold standard size ones, thus enabling you to buy quality when they come up cheep.

Like a collet holder, that could work!

Or an end mill holder.

Another project?
It's actually not a bad idea, less flex and deflection.
