#43 drill bit?

[92hatchattack]

Hey guys!

I picked up a used goat boy drill fixture off a member here and it should be arriving today or tomorrow. What I forgot to do is get a drill bit for it. I'm told it uses a #43. What type of drill bit do I need and where can I get it or order it in order to get it as fast as possible? I am on the east coast. I have an order in with John but it's on its way already and I forgot to buy the drill bit. I need it by this Saturday the latest.

Also, has anyone here used this drill fixture with stock BSA axles before? I hear the whole may be a little big for them. Will adding some water to the hole swell it enough to hold my axles well?

Thanks guys!

I picked up #43 and #44 (for AWANA) drill bits at ACE hardware. Or was it True Value??? Point is, the not-Home Depot/Lowe's/Menards are likely to have them.

I test fitted with BSA axles using a #43. They are pretty snug but I may still add water for the DFW at least to be safe. That is the only one I would really be concerned with moving if bumped too hard.

Check your local industrial supply store. They'll usually have them.

Fastenal carries both carbide and HS jobber bits in both #43 & #44
