metric twist-style bit set?

[dbworkshop]

Hey Shane

Just saw the video where Frank demonstrated the new centrotec set (euro version.)  Will the twist-style bits in a hard case be available here any time soon?  The brad points will come in handy for use in the workshop, but I really don't want to take them out to the construction site.  It would be nice to be able to easily switch out cases based on work load.  Also, will the forstner bit set fit into the plastic insert where the brad point set is?  I am assuming yes to all..... after all its a system baby!!!

Twist style drill bits set was available a couple years ago as a promo item, but USA community actively refusing to buy metric goods, so it looks like we won't see them anymore.

Not the entire community...

Take pen turning for example.  Those of us who make pens with our lathes often need to drill metric-diameter holes in the centers of the blanks.  I've had kits that call for 10.5mm bits, and no, a 10mm or 11mm bit would not work for that kit.

There are, of course, some that use imperial sizes too... and some that use one of each...
