Don, 

I ordered  a 50-piece carbide bit set for $19.95 from
Micro_Mark distributor in NJ. http://www.micromark.com/
plus shipping, just under $30 in less than a week.--item no. 82151,
sizes #80 through #12.

I see they also have a set of ten for $13.80--item no. 60310, sizes
#39 to #73.

I haven't used the bits yet.   I am going to buld a pivoting drill
press like Stefan's first, so I don't break the bits easily.

After I ordered the bits, of course, I found carbide bits at a local
surplus tool distributor for a dollar each.   Their selection wasn't
nearly as good as the 50 piece set, though.
