Default Where to buy a 60 degree drill bit

I've got a cracked bubble wind screen on my Ranger, boat so I bought a replacement set from the factory. The lexan wind screens don't have the holes for mounting drilled yet. I spoke with the factory supplier and he said the holes must be drilled with a 60 degree bit or it may well catch and crack the lexan. He gave me a company name in Arizona that they get theirs from, but I was hoping to find one in Canada. Anyone know where to get one? Thanks.

Fastenal, bolt supply house Acklands.. Just about any industrial supply place should have or order for you.. I've drilled lexan with normal bits slower speed and carefull on the pressure. Back off a little when punching through

Drilled lean as well with a conventional bit. Slow speed and easy pressure, and a little bit of cutting oil to keep things cool.

You didn't mention a location, but if you're in a major center, I'd suggest anywhere mentioned above, and add busy bee tools, Lee valley, and KMS tools to the list
