New Drill bits needed: large drills chowdered into oblivion 2/14/2020

Used the Bridgeport last night to drill some large holes, stepping up through the sizes. The largest HSS drill bits we have are in horrible shape.

The 7/8" drill is dull, chipped, and the bottom 1/2 inch of the flutes are ground down to be undersized. Would not drill.

The 1" is usable (barely), but is also in bad shape.

All 1/2" (IIRC) drills bits were missing all together - could not locate.

We decided at the last committee meeting that they be replaced.
