Centrotec Metric Sets

[Gordon Bombay]

I just received a Festool CXS and am looking forward to using the Centrotec system. I have been trying to find metric bits (for installing some Blum hardware) but haven't been able to find them for sale. Does anyone know where I can track some down here in the US?

Thanks!

Although it looks like the ZOBO metric forstners are backordered

Thanks rvieceli. I saw those, but was hoping to find some pozi bits and other sizes (like a 2.5mm drill bit).

There's no 2½ mm drill bit in the Centrotec line.
When installing Blum hardware you might need these drills:
- BTA HW D 5 CE for predrilling Euroscrews (#492522)
- ZB HS D 5 EURO CE for predrilling Euroscrews (#492525)
Don't know if they are available in the USA?

Thanks Neeleman. That's very helpful.

I forgot the D35 CE Forstner drill bit (#496476).
It's used for drilling the Blum hinge cups.
