At the exhibition in W Mids in Oct, I bought a set of Dormer A02 1 - 6mm in 0.1 increments Split point jobber drills which cost an absolute arm and leg 
as I was sick of the usual sets being made of cheese or not drilling straight.
Tonite with SWMBO at an Ann Summers party and the nipper at the grand parents I had my first opportunity to venture t the garage and try them in anger.
Drilling in the headsstock job in the vertical slide, set up with a centre on scribed lines, swap for chuck. What a revelation! no need to centre pop, no wandering tip lovely matching length spirals of swarf. Marked out set up and drilled 28 x 2.6mm holes very quickly.
Very impressed, as I said, very spendy but good performance so far. ;D
She'll be back any minute reeking of booze so my evening may improve even more.
