Denny,

Based on your and Pierre's comments on the MiniMate, I plan to buy one soon. I usually buy my drill bits from Micro-Mark, who advertise them as "high speed steel." Are these good to use in the MiniMate? Any other suggestions for drill bits? Many thanks. Jim Brewer Glenwood MD

I will second that. Just don't try to use carbide bits this way, however. You (meaning me, of course) cannot hold the tool steady enough to avoid bit breakage. The battery-powered Dremel tools are a godsend. Denny
