Hey, I need to do some porting.

I need one of those Carbide bits for my die grinder, but i don't know where to get them....

I'm thinking house of tools, but i don't know. I know princess auto and crappy tire dont have them.

You're right on the money with House of Tools. They've got every shape and size too!

You can expect to pay between $20-$40 a piece, depending on the shape/size. I bought two bits for roughly $70. Don't waste your time looking anywhere else IMO.

make sure you specify what your grinding when you buy it. Steel deburing bits won't work for aluminum

yeah, I went tho house of tools and sure enough they had a huge selection, I got a steel one, its a cylinder shape one about 1 inch long and 1/2 inch thick, with a die grinder shaft(whatever size that is, 3/8?) its was $$$$13.

they also have ones fro alum. and cast, small ones and huge ass ones,

thanks again everyone for your help.
