..... other than the fact that Braces are just plain "cool", or just to let myself fall further down the slippery Neader slope.

Background. The thread on Yankee Braces caught my eye and I didnt want to hijack it with this question. I have a decent drill press and an electric drill. I'm wondering what benefits I'd get by adding a Brace to my shop? Is it like handsaws and hand planes, where using a Brace is just plain easier or better for some kinds of work?

I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts.

Thanks guys.
Fred
