Bulls Eye: Fuller is what I was looking for. I also discovered they make step drills for use on a variety of materials.
Great online catalog on their site - worth bookmarking.
thanks Cheese [smile]

Hans FWIW...Norseman also makes step drills with TiN & TiCN coatings for difficult to drill materials. I like them because they are available with a 1/4" hex shaft for cordless drills. Page 102 [smile]

Years ago I came across a name / recommendation  from Bridge City Tools.  I went and found the website:  http://www.montanabrandtools.com/collections/x29-bradpoint-drill-bits/products/brad-point-drill-set

Quality and American Made in Montana.

[member=1674]Peter Halle[/member]  Thanks for jogging my memory.  Tom Bellemare recommended them to me some time ago, but I lost track of their name.

Just threw them some business. Thank you Peter.

I have a set of Montana bits that I really like.  They cut a good clean hole.

One warning, though, first time you use them, be prepared that they cut pretty
aggressively.  Try some cuts on scrap first to get the feel of them.

For those of you out there that need more than just the standard 6 different sized brad point drills, I noticed that Fuller drill bits, also made in the USA, offer brad points in 1/64" increments from 5/64"-11/16".

They also offer metric brads in .1mm, .25mm & .5mm increments along with wire gauge and letter sized brad point drills. They say they're suitable for sheet metal. [eek] [eek] That could be interesting...
