    Posting for a colleague:

    Seeking source for custom drill bits. Specifically, fast spiral, high helix bits for drilling pinblocks.  More specifically, a size or sizes between an E (.250) and an F (.257).

    Try American Tool in Tacoma WA. I bought mine there but as I recall you need to buy more than just a few
