bigdguitars Posted December 23, 2005 Report Posted December 23, 2005 I am not sure if all of you read Fine wood working, but the last issue they reviewed lee Valley brad point drill bits. They are by far the nicest bits that I have used. Very little walking and I cannot think of a bad thing about them. They are not that pricey and well worth ordering them. I have a ton of cheapo bits, we all do, and you need a good bit in a drill press. I would buy them and use them only for detail work such as neck pockets and bridge mounting.

vaxination Posted December 23, 2005 Report Posted December 23, 2005 thanks, i am always looking for good brad point bits. in fact, i was trying to find a few just this past week (i need a 10mm for another wood working hobby i do). i have some fairly nice brad points, but they are not premium. nice bits always makes a task go a lot smoother. i will definitely consider the lee valley bits.

mister honey Posted December 24, 2005 Report Posted December 24, 2005 The Lee Valley drill bits are great in a drill press, but I find them to be very aggressive (self-feeding) in a hand held drill. Has anyone else had this experience? Mike Quote
