Oh, Steve. Not to worry, and no pity needed. As with so many shop items, bits
of all kinds have appeared and indeed multiplied in my shop over the past
several years. Blondes, brunettes, Guiness, Magic Hat, etc., if you will.
Irwins, Diamond Edge, Belknap, Stanley, etc. etc. are each represented. So,
getting additional No. 100s of 'just the right kind' will be a slow-burn
activity, not a spring. No angst, or drama, but I'll promise to notify the list
when I've reached any of the "Qtrs" levels!

What I can't decide is why I have so many, when I need so few holes?
VR,
Kurt

Why care now, you might ask? My son went to a local auction over the weekend and
brought home seven pristine R-J No. 100 bits and a R-J L-101E bit that is also
pristine.[snip]
