Are OEM lead times leveling off

Over the past six weeks I’ve watched carbide drills slide from 10–12 weeks down to 5–6, while vises and modular fixturing are still quoted at 8–10; for those of you ordering direct or through distribution, is that your reality too? I’m trying to set clearer timelines for a couple of aerospace accounts after a 24-piece 1/2" through-coolant drill order finally landed at week 7, and I’d rather recommend alternates up front if the backlog isn’t easing.

On 24-piece 1/2" drills, request “split-ship” from stock and expedite balance. Direct or distributor?
