Where to find a 5" to 6" long 9/64" taper bit?

On several occasions I've need a longer 9/64 taper bit and I can't seem to find one.
I drill my draft and stem 9/64", maybe I should rethink this and go to a 11/64" or maybe smaller 5/32"?
I don't want to go much larger but, if the general consensus is to drill ones draft larger I will.
Thank you for any advice. :wink:

Thank you Wayne, I did find one at Hardwick's a bit cheaper them McMaster-Carr.
I've gotten a lot of things from M-C in the past years but learned you better get a good size order or they'll rape you on shipping.
