Harbor freight is a good source for the 1-60 set.  The 61-80 set is available thru a lot of sources, but I would avoid the cheap imported sets, get one from HUOT.  The imported stuff breaks too easy, and sizing is poor on them.....Cliff

I have found that having a dial caliper is invaluable.  Not only can I measure metering rods when I can no longer read the stamp, but I measure the bits before use as well.  I wouldn't be able to do the work without the dial caliper--and they are inexpensive too.
