Broke my Tapping Bit

[bryankloos]

Hi All,

I broke my tapping bit today...
Does anyone know where I can get a decent one in CT (or the Hudson Valley)?
Thanks,
Bryan

Gah, that's the worst — I now buy two at the start of every season from SmokyLake for that exact reason. I'm technically in the Hudson Valley but quite far from you, almost on the Vermont border...this place carries tapping bits: https://g.co/kgs/wYf6cdH

I got my 5/16" bit barely used from a larger producer (compared to me... still not large) who had switched to something smaller, if you happen to know of any producers near you. Just one idea. No idea where the nearest supply store is to you, if any. In an emergency of course use a new, sharp regular wood bit or overnight something from amazon (you probably already thought of those options as plan G and F).
