I've been looking for the all-in-one combination drill and tap bits (metric), as I just busted a couple of mine, but all I have been able to find online so far is the separate drill bit and tap bit pairs, not the all-in-one.

Anyone have a good source for these they could share?

Thanks,
 
What I do, to save money, is save the card which comes with the tap or die. The card lists the drill size required. (usually in metric and standard) If you do not have the card, Google and the internet have printable thables gor drill and tap sizes. I blew up, printed and lamanated the tables and have them posted next to my drill press. Also, you will burn up way more drill bits than taps. Remember that when you drill in steel, slow speed and thread tapping fluid will save your bits. Happy fun!
 
Good advice, its just that I have quite a bit of drilling to do and it saves quite a bit of time if I can do my drilling and tapping all in one fell swoop.
