Default Wood screw drills


"Smitty Two" wrote in message

About 30 years ago I worked for a guy who had a set of drills for wood
screws. They drilled the pilot for the threads, the counterbore for the
shank, and the countersink for the head. They were sort of like spade
bits in that they were fashioned from a solid piece of flat stock.

All I've seen lately are the kind with a separate drill bit that slips
into a collar that has the counterbore and countersink cutters, or
sometimes just the countersink.

Anyone know where to get the style I remember from back in the day?


Smitty 2 I also have looked for the same type, they are the best type.
Over the years I have broken some of mine. Hope some one knows where to find
them. WW
