If a kid wanted a good freehand drilling bit...

Post by The Smoking Yeti »

Hey, so I'm that one schmuck who totally missed out on the group buy for the BP bits. I'm desperately wanting a spade bit to suit all my freehand drilling needs, yet, I have missed the train. Is there a good alternative to the BP bits? I've heard Ken Lamb's are a no-go. Or so TJ said...

Does anyone have a BP bit they'd sell me for a marked up price?

:P

When I receive the new set from Brad, I will have an extra - unused 7/8" bit from Brad's first run available. I think the difference is the bottom profile. The one I have has a tapered bottom and straight walls. PM me if you want it.
