Anyone using twist drills in their Brace?
I recently picked up a box of bits from my brace and along with the countersink bits that I was really after, I found a good selection of standard twist drill bits with a square drive to fit in my brace. The sizes are in the 3/16-5/16 range.
My initial thought was that twist drills would typically require higher speed than I can provide with a brace. Perhaps these are to be used in something else.
Anyone out their using this type of bit in their braces? How is it working?
Of course I do realize that I could just pop one of these in my brace and try to drill some holes but I am interested in knowing more of the intended use for this type of bit. Would they typically be for wood or metal etc.
I can post pics if anyone is interested.
Square Shank Twist Drill Bits
I would never admit to it in public, but I have a small collection of twist drill bits, most marked Winchester that I will use on occasion. I have an 1/8" and 3/16" that are most handy for smaller holes.
I have some sharpened both ways.
