Hi - I am a rank beginner, and have been very slowly building up a set of tools. I think I'm finally at the point where I can start making things.I don't have a set of drill bits though. What should I start with? I'd rather get a small set of good bits than a huge set of so-so bits.I also will be making things on an Atlas 618, a Taig mill, and an 1/2" Atlas bench-top drill press. Hopefully that gives you the sense of the size of models I will be building. I plan on starting with a Stuart S50 and then see where the hobby takes me from there.For starters, I'm under the impression I should get HSS bits in screw machine length, but I'm less certain after that. Get a "numbered" set? Fractional set? Metric?!?Thanks!
