Interesting. It does make me feel better about my own sanity that what
is being described is not a "square drill" but an entire system
including special floating chuck and guide plate that does the job. When
I first tried thinking about the concept of a "square drill" it was
about as easy to accept as "honest politician".

Same here. I saw the title, says to self - must mean mortising chisel.
Rethink and decide to read it anyhow as I just might learn something.
I did.

machinist 101. I've collected many $5 bills with that bet.
drilling a square hole with a twist drill in the drill
press! and no arbor either.

unless someone gives it away, it'll cost you $5 before i
prove it ;-) (over they years, I've also taken pity and
gave the $5 back to the young kids just getting started, but
it does make them better machinists)
