Default I'd like some exciting drill bits

I'd like some exciting drill bits.
All the drill bits I see advertised say they are boring bits. I dont
want to be bored when I'm drilling, or I'll fall asleep on the job.
Where can I buy some drill bits that are NOT boring and possibly even
exciting?

Get the new ones with the steel cable on it. You hold onto the cable with
one hand, turn the drill on with the other. When the cable is wound tight
around the shaft, or you want to reverse, you simply pull on the cable to
make it reverse.

Take your boring bits (haw!) and clamp them in the jaws of your vise. Use a
torch to soften up the bits a little and then use some Vise-Grips or
something similar to bend them just a little bit. I guarantee future
drilling will be much more exciting.

If you do, you're are unique.

I recall my instructor in the Dale Carnegie Sales course saying: "It is
estimated there are several million quarter-inch drill bits sold in this
country every year. But nobody actually wanted a quarter-inch drill bit!
What they wanted was a quarter-inch hole."

Get some triangle bits. They drill triangle holes.



Sounds as goofy as drilling square holes. Square holes are easily drilled
in wood.

No, but one guy in the class did work as a "counselor" for a cemetery.

He did allow, during one break, that a fringe benefit of his seemingly
somber job was the widows; several were, in his words, "hornier than a bag
of toads." On a similar note, my ex-brother-in-law said he got some strange
on virtually every long-haul trip he took as a Greyhound driver. He
attributed it to his looks, but I think it was the incessant vibration.

Sounds goofy but there is actually a drill system which will drill
triangular or square holes in metal. It uses a guide and a bit with one
flute less than the number of sides desired. Can't think of the name of it
right now. A hand-held regular drill bit will sometimes drill a somewhat
triangular hole that the round shank will not pass thru, especially in thin
metal.

And there's the cutting a perfectly round circle of wood on a table saw
trick using a pretty simple home made jig. I think there's a YouTube clip
on that someplace.

Yer right, it does sound goofy. I guess you don't have a link since you
can't scare up the name of it.

popped some hits.

Pay some goddamn attention. I'm not referring to, nor did I reply to,
the "table saw jig circle" issue.
