I have always used good quality HSS or Cobalt bits of the standard 118º grind in both the drill press and lathe.

Neil if you hunt through sites that supply machinist tooling you'll find that they probably have the fraction, number and letter drill bits but with the metric bits readily available in 0.1mm increments why would it matter? With them you can nail any size you'd ever need. :winking:
