    Default 8mm Forstner bits

    With Carbatec being out of stock. I was wondering if somebody knows where I might be able to purchase same. It seems that somehow I must have bent the shaft on the one I normally use and it now drills oversize.
    Help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks Ron.

    Thanks Fence Furniture, I really need 8mm, 5/16" is too small for 8mm barrel hinges.

    Thankyou all.
    I've located one at Woodwork Tool and Book Company at Mona Vale. Thanks to Michael Mogy at veneerinlayaustralia

    I've also found that Master's can be good for Forstner bits in metric sizes.

    I've found all the saw blade sharpening places that I've been to sell a good range of bits. They've even modified one for me.
