Interesting find at a yard sale
#11
I bought a small box of bits at a yard sale yesterday. Today, I'm going through the box. There's 24 of the same size bit, NOS. All F.Walter, England and approximately 3/32". Nineteen have the rounded cutting tip and five have the cutting lip (sorry, don't know the proper terminology).

Looks like "fluted" tip bits; old school, like the Yankee push drills. Very cool.

No, more like spoon bits.

The ones without the lip are shell bits. The ones with the lip are nosing bits. Those are an awesome find. Congrats!

OK, excuse my ignorance, but what do you do with them?

Well, larger ones are used in your brace to drill holes for chair making-think starting a hole at 15 degrees off vertical, easy to do with a spoon bit.

Besides drill holes?

I'm always intrigued when I run into small bits designed to go in braces.
