Jim,

In the past I wasn't able to find a good source. Haven't looked recently. However, if you are needing a 5mm bit to make pin holes in cabinetry, Whiteside is now making a 5mm upspiral with 1/4 shank. They advertise it for loose tenon jointery, but I don't see why it wouldn't work for drilling.

Here is a link to Woodcraft that shows it. You should be able to get it through them or any Whiteside reseller.
