I use Dormer bits too, though these days (like everything) new ones come from abroad. I have a 1974 model engineering catalogue - interesting to note that the inflation-adjusted price for a 1/16-1/2 set in 64ths is £160 in today's money. No wonder my Dad just had a few oddments in an old tobacco tin.
