Milwaukee makes very good cobalt bits. I got mine from the Home Depot.

The only place not mentioned is Fastenal. Maybe it's a midwest situation, but they carry a huge variety.

Yes you do

If you drill a pilot hole and then drill to size a cheap improperly sharpened bit will drill true to size.  IF you try to drill to size in one shot you need quality drill bits.

I was just being tactful.  But buying cut rate tools comes under the category of you usually get what you pay for.

I haven't needed drill bits for a long time but in January of 2017 my 54 year old
horizontal band saw gave up the fight forever.It was an American made saw and
while the company is still alive there are NO parts.I paid $200 for it in 1963 so
it owed me nothing.Harbor Freight was the only alternative open to me so I called
our son to bring his truck and haul me to buy a new saw.I bought one for $259 and
we put it in the shop.After 3 and 1/2 years it still has the blade that came on it and
it is overbuilt and I have used it a lot.Like everything else at HF it is made in China
and they do have replacement blades of American make and I have one in case the
original finally breaks.I have also looked at their drill presses and wouldn't give dime
for any of them because none of them have a spindle that will accommodate a locking
collar chuck which to me is a MUST.This is a 1 and 1/16 by 20 threads per inch collar
attached to the chuck that pulls it up tight on the tapered spindle and KEEPS it there.
I have also seen new grinding wheels there that have chips broken out and one was cracked.
I called the owner of the company and told him about this dangerous replacement and I jave
noticed that they have no wheels bigger than 4 inches for sale now at least here ib this store.

I like to use Kodaik Cutting Tools. They have an online store and many of their tools are made in the US.

I've heard surprisingly good reviews of this bandsaw from others as well.  One of the better tools Harbor Freight makes.
