[Shop-talk] Drill bits: carbon steel vs high-speed

[Doug Braun <doug@dougbraun.com>]

Hello,

I was planning to get a set of teensy wire-gauge drill bits from these people: 
http://www.gyrostools.com/index.html

I noticed that they sell both carbon steel and high-speed steel versions, and 
the price difference is quite small.

Is there any reason to choose carbon over high-speed if the price is the same?  
Do carbon steel drill bits have any possible advantage other than sometimes 
being cheaper?

Thanks,
Doug
