Spoon Bits

[socrates]

I have acquired some Clico chair maker spoon bits ranging from 3/8" to 3/4". All are brand new unused bits. Has anyone used these for drilling tobacco chambers? How do they work in comparison to spoon bits made specifically for the task or should I just use them to build a chair[SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES][BLACK QUESTION MARK ORNAMENT] Thanks!

No, do not use those, unless you want to lose a finger.

Yeah I did a quick search to see what they were and I found this pagehttp://www.toolsforworkingwood.com/stor ... Spoon_Bits

and the description said

Spoon bits have even been found in Viking excavations. Spoon bits are the traditional boring tools used with a brace � never use them with a power drill of any kind

Thanks! I guess I'll just use them with a brace on chairs. Had intended on having them modified by a local machine shop. Turned and extended for ease of use will be a waste of money. Luckily I paid less than half of what toolsforworkingwood.com is asking. Reckon I could donate them to a Viking burial LOL.
