Default Drilling a long hole in timber

For the Medway Handy Man!!

Things have moved on. Nobody uses a brace & bit anymore.


Oh yes they *DO* . They come in very handy when there is no power on site
and the batteries have run down on the portable drill - or even when you
have to drill a 75mm hole in a piece of wood.

Now please don't tell me that this cannot be done by hand - because it can
with an expansion wood bit.

And if you've never heard of, or seen one of these, then I would suggest
that you stick to the 'rough' stuff - or use the angle grinder.
