Made in USA drill bits?

At the machine shop I previously worked for, we used Precision Twist Drill (PTD) and Dormer among others. Try checking the sales flyer at KBC tools for deals. Be aware that we found the KBC house brand drills were quite low quality, you get what you pay for.

My drill bit strategy is the opposite.  I buy cheap jobber drill bits and throw them away when they get dull.  I'm careful to always use cutting oil, make sure the bit is making chips, and not spin them too fast.  I can get 30 to 40 holes in mild steel before they dull.
