Title: The Cleveland Twist Drill Company 1-29 Index
Post by: Yadda on January 01, 2021, 07:27:43 PM
I won an auction for this brass bronze alloy drill index. 29 bits from 1/16 to 1/2 in 1/32 of an inch.  First one I have seen with a case.

Updated.  Shout out to Lou for the info.

Nice, but not strictly woodworking, eh?

No. Not really, but it seemed right when I wrote it.

We all do, but twist bits were originally developed, I believe, for metal drilling; but they turned out to be useful for wood.  Plastic.  Jello.
