Metric brad-point drill bit

I'm looking for a 14mm brad-point bit. Rockler is sold out until
February. Who else is a good source for things like this?

Any of our distributors can obtain a 14mm brad point drill for you. We
are in stock on this item at this time. Email me your zipcode and I'll
see if we have a dealer near you.

True, true. But that $8 Lee Valley item is eight CANADIAN smackers.
Comes to $5.50 US. It's worth the wait.

Hate to see the door fall off -- as there is no fallback position -- so
I'll stick with the mfgr's recommendation on this one.
