You've been on these long brad point drill bits for two weeks now and you've
received quite a few suggestions.

Do you actually have a project that needs them?


I have quite a few square head augers actually. What I requested info on was "where
I can find the great deal" on extra long HSS (specifically) brad point bits, but what I
need one for is the holes for bench bolts. You know... the bench you showed off has
them... (he he). Going straight through the tenons to the nut hole, which is what I'll
do.

I really don't trust myself to drill them straight with an auger. So I bought a dowl-it
(old and used), hopefully that'll work. My 2101 brace will hold a straight shank bit,
no problem. I bought a bit though, 1/2" x 10" long HSS brad point with 7-1/2"
distance of flutes, made by WL Fuller.
