Hey all,

I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a long 5mm drill bit.

I am looking for at least 6 inches over all length.

I need to be able to drill a hole through a 5 inch blank while in a pen blank chuck on my lathe.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
Jay

I am cheap and have a 13/64 aircraft bit, it is .00625 larger than a 5mm. It is what I would have used. Glue would have taken care of the difference.

This is perfect.

I just need it to be a pilot hole, so to speak, so a touch larger than 5mm will not matter in the least.

I have found 13/64 extended bits everywhere and some at reasonable prices too.

This was helpful. Thank you so much.
