To date, the best I've seen was in response to "How do you drill a
curved hole?".

Answer: "Give it to an apprentice and ask him to drill a straight hole".

Any others? (Leaving out the politics and religion, please?)


Take a look at:

Used to use bits like this to run romex thru corner studs.


I wound up with a set of these made by Milwaukee. Price was
steep -- and it would have been even steeper except that they had been
in the store for so long that they had been discontinued, and the owner
had to call Milwaukee (and give a magic word or two) to get the last
price that they sold at. I needed the 1-1/4" diameter, and the around
the corner at need was a nice bonus feature.

I've also used one to rout out a hole for storing a diamond
dressing tool in the box which holds my Dremel grinding wheels. Just
set it up in the drill press -- set the depth stop, and slid the wood
box against the edge of the vise.

Enjoy,
DoN.
