Any machinists in here?

I am looking for some specific drill bits. I have found one company that sells them and I trying to poll the collective to see if there are any other makers of these drill bits that offer them at a bit cheaper prices.

Here are the details.

Right Hand Drill Bits
Carbide Tipped

If you havent figured it out these are for drilling into broken easy out's. The easy out's were obviously being used to remove a broken stud/bolt unsuccessfully. The prices I have been quoted start at about 40.00 and go up from there. That is per bit. TIA

The drill bits are outragious in price. Plus you need the strength and rigidity of a mill to keep the bits from shattering and causing more mess! Call some Machine Shops and find one with a hole shooter(they use spark like an EDM) We use one all the time at my day job to remove broken taps, carbide endmills,... etc. It will probably cost ya 40$- any headaches.

Just .02 cents worth

Here is the problem. I understand the cost ratio of sending this work out to someone. But I want to start doing this on a consistent basis in the future. This is not something that I broke and need fixed. Therefore, it would not be feasible to me to send something out everytime someone came in with this problem. 40.00 a pop to pay someone to do this each time equals one of these bits I am talking about. And these bits may at times see use in a hand drill but that would be on rare occasion. They would be used in a drill press or a mill.
