I recently purchased a brace at an antique market for very cheap. Mistake 1. Trying to use a forstner bit with it. Mistake 2 trying to use a brad point regular twist drill with it. A light was seen at the end of the tunnel. You need auger bits dummy.
Not sure what to look for on eBay. There is a modern set 1/4-1" by steelex. Instead of the odd tapered shank ending of the vintage auger bits these have hex shanks. Presumably for power drills? Would these work in my 4 jaw brace as they are priced better and a complete set.
I just want to hear some thoughts here. I get the whole "they don't make me like they used to." Worst case I buy these bits and end up using them with a power drill?
Thanks
