Looks like you have a full set or close to it by 64ths to at least 1"

He has some in an old bread pan, also. That's a good idea for a rack. I thought I had a lot of drills...

How do you know what size they are? Us old people that haven't bought reading glasses yet can't figure it out by looking at the microscopic printing on the bit

 

[s_ontario]

can't see the markings myself anymore but white chalk makes them show up nicely

I have an illuminated magnifier right by my drill press.

Cool machine! I used one like it on my first mechanical job at 18 yrs old. Your drill bit is sharpened off center.

 

[Torque1st]

Your drill bit is sharpened off center.

You noticed that also...

 

[s_ontario]

LOL Bite me

 

[Torque1st]

I think it was that long stringer trying to bite you.

 

[s_ontario]

those damn stringers will stick to the bottom of your shoes its worst then walking around with toilet paper stuck on them

 

[Torque1st]

Chips and stringers make nice scratches in hardwood floors. They are great in the winter on ice tho...

How many drill bits do you own? Is that all of them? I think you left out a few!!! Seriously nice drill storage.

 

[Krokodil]

Nice collection man

 

[aloysiuscarl]

I am beginning to get quite a collection of drill bits, from 1.5mm up to about 19mm, with multiples of each size, and i'm looking for some sort of case to store them in,I purchased it from Graybar Electric Supply around 1960 so it's a bit over 40. The Holgun went south 20 or so years ago and now I have a small battery powered drill in its place for quick, minor repairs.
