Norseman screw machine deal information.

Patrick and I have been contacted numerous times since the last Norseman group buy asking specifically about screw machine length drill sets. You asked for it and here are the final details of this Norseman deal:

No limits on these 3 individual sets that will make up a full 115 piece set. All 3 sets come in separate metal Huot indexes. This is nice since you don’t need 115 drills most of the time. If you really want them all together in 1 large index, Huot makes a screw machine length 115 index. You can get that on your own.

Screw machine length drills are shorter, stiffer and will drill a more accurate hole. If you are not regularly drilling through very thick material, this would be a great set of drills that will last you forever. Look at the length of the flutes on a 3/8” and if you are not drilling through material that thick, then you have a less stiff drill than you need.

Stub-length screw machine twist drills have a shorter overall length than jobbers' length bits for maximum rigidity and longer tool life. Also known as stub drills, they're designed primarily for machining operations in screw machines but can also be used in manual hand held drills. High Speed Steel models are best suited for drilling steel, cast steel, cast iron, or other alloyed or non-alloyed ferrous materials, but they also work well for a variety of non-ferrous and non-metallic materials. For optimal performance and the best tool life, suitable lubricating/cutting oils or the appropriate coolant fluids are recommended. Always look at a chart for proper speeds and feeds when drilling so that you get optimal performance.

The 3 sets are:

66850 letter set A-Z
https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/0398364

66490 fractional 29 piece
https://www.fastenal.com/product?query=Norseman+66490&fsi=1

23560 number 1-60
https://www.fastenal.com/product?query=23560+Norseman&fsi=1

Pricing is good through Thursday April 18, 2019 2PM EST. This deal begins on Monday April 15, 2019.

These bits are proudly manufactured in the USA!

How to order:

Patrick's information:
Patrick Cook

[email protected]
www.iscsupplies.com for information only. Because of GJ pricing, call or email please.


Shipping prices:
Since high shipping prices really irritate me, I asked for him to take that into consideration. Here are the shipping costs:
If you but all 3 screw machine sets listed above, the price is $255 delivered to you in the continental US. Canada, Hawaii, and Alaska are not included in the $255 deal. Outside of lower 48 states: shipping will be computed by Patrick.

Norseman Catalog: (click on this link but give it time to download-its a large PDF so give it time to download-could take a few minutes based on connection speed)

These are great drill sets and I am very thankful that Patrick has agreed to offer these to Garage Journal members!

So, if you only want the A-Z set, the total is $92 + $6.95 + $9 = $107.95?

It’s only $104 with free shipping on their website.

This Norseman deal is only for the 3 individual sets at this time. Thanks

Sorry to ask this. I have read this a few times.

Do you have to order full 115 piece set "3 sets" for 255.00? or Can you order the individual sets?

I would like to order the Screw machine length drills but do not need all the other. Is that possible?

Kasander not sure why you think the A-Z set is 104. Check again and make sure you are looking for "A - Z Molybdenum Tool Steel Black & Gold Finish 135° Drill Bit Set" that is like 224.00.

The original posting had links to Paxon Tool Co. I see that now it links to Fastenal. Not sure why PT Doc edited his post. Maybe to make it look like a better deal buy comparing to Fastenal's inflated pricing?

PT Doc has also removed all the pricing info now...

Here's the original link to get it for $104 with free shipping.

66850 letter set A-Z
https://www.paxontool.com/ikingspt266685026pcscrewmachinelengthdrillbitset.aspx


It is strange that PT Doc has negotiated a "deal" that is a worse deal than what he is selling for to the general public and making it seem that garage journal members are getting a better deal.

Again, I'm confused as to why he edited his post and is directing us to Fastenal when he sells them cheaper in his online store.


Here are the other two sets from his site since he removed those links as well and replaced them with fastenal links.

66490 fractional 29 piece
https://www.paxontool.com/vikingspt296649029pcscrewmachinelengthdrillbitset.aspx

23560 number 1-60
https://www.paxontool.com/freeshippingvikingspt-602356060pcscrewmachinelengthdrillbitsetfreeshippingandvolumerebates.aspx

Trying to remember the pricing since PT Doc edited the original post and removed it.

I think it was

A-Z: $92
Fractional: $74?
Numbers: $70?

Add $6.95 if only ordering one set.

Shipping $9 for one set or $13 for two sets?

All three sets: $255 including shipping.

Like I said, this deal for all 3 sets only. If you want only 1 set then by all means but them from where ever you want. The pricing for all 3 sets is very good but if you don't like it, then feel free to purchase what you want from where you want it.

Again this GJ pricing is for all 3 sets delivered to one continental US address.

Contact Patrick and see what he can do. All of these sets are being drop shipped from Norseman so 1 set might have done additional charges. Can't hurt to ask.

Just so everyone knows the link to Fastenal is for info purposes. Industrial Supply Center had nothing to do with Fastenal. Nor does ISC have anything to do with Paxton Tools. Norseman has PDF catalog so linking to it directly to it doesn't work. Hope this clarifies any confusion. Thank you.

This is a change from your original (pre-edited) posting. You clearly had pricing for the individual sets in case someone wanted only certain sets.

Now I am really confused from this statement you made which suggests you had planned to offer individual sets...

No limits on these 3 individual sets that will make up a full 115 piece set. All 3 sets come in separate metal Huot indexes. This is nice since you don’t need 115 drills most of the time. If you really want them all together in 1 large index, Huot makes a screw machine length 115 index. You can get that on your own.

He is talking about how the bits will come packaged. Three of these:

https://www.huot.com/product/drill-indexus-size-9/

instead of one of these:

Still confused on why you originally posted with pricing for individual sets, then retracted all that information and now you can only order the complete 3 pack...

Just talked with Patrick. Basically, you can order whichever sets you want and he will work with you. I actually have family close to his shop so may grab some sets and save the shipping.

A-Z: $92 + shipping
Fract: $78 + shipping
Numbers: $70 + shipping
All 3: $255, shipping included

What’s the difference between numbers, A-Z and fractions? The Norseman link does not work

These 3 individuals sets make up a typical 115 piece drill set. They cover the wide range if drill sizes that are needed if you are for example tapping holes. 1/4-20 screws need a #7 predrill to be tapped to typical standards.

Search on tap drill chart and you will see a column with various letters and numbers. Letter and number drills fit in nicely between the fractional drills.

kasander- you sound confused but even more so.... annoying.

If you deem it not a good deal, then buy elsewhere, or post links. But based on your ramblings and links you are confused, linking more expensive options, and still not buying anything at what looks to be a 25%+ discount on quality bits.

PT Doc is making a effort to offer a good deal, quit jawing.
-------

As for the deal, I pretty much ONLY use STUB length, great option for metal workers.

A word of caution on used Drill Bit sets on AWD. I have tried ordering two different sets of Chicago Latrobe bits through AWD and both were heavily used and missing bits. The last set was missing 4 bits. A half dozen of the bits that were there looked like they had been abused. I have had great luck with AWD, just not with drill bits.

Paid for my letters and numbers today. I already have mechanics length fractionals. I'm curious to see the length difference between machine and mechanic.

I almost broke down and bought a HF set just to have 115. Thanks for saving me.

I got my sets. Sent Patrick an email with my shipping info and he sent a quickbooks invoice link where I was able to pay via credit card. Easy.

Thanks for putting the deal together PT Doc.
