Having ordered some 30mm and 24mm buttons, I started to look for equivilant bits to cut out holes to mount them. After checking the usual suspects (Rona, Home Depost, Lowes, Crappy Tire, etc), I was astounded to see that not one carries metric forster bits or hole saws.

Even amazon.ca doesn't have them, but oddly the U.S. amazon.com does. What is going on here? Why is it harder to find metric bits in Canada of all places? We use the metric system!

Anyone know of any good places in Canada to try to order them from? I've got a couple more local independent shops to check, but barring those I'll have to snag them online.

I just ordered some hole saws (12mm, 20mm, 22mm, and 24mm) off ebay from good ol' China. ~$16 shipped.
