Bit Shaping 101

I am aware of the drill short and come in from the bowl trick? Of, course a dremmil is not gonna reach on most bowl sizes. So I am interested how some of you guys handle a full bent as well as others.

It seems to me that a rounded bore is suitable for straight's but not so much for anything over a quarter bent and forget it for a full bent.

The ellipse seems questionable and is a cone crazy? (I would actually round those corners and tip somewhat on the actual bit)

So, do you guys use a varied assortment of chanber bores?

I believe the trick on a more stepely bent pipe is to not drill your bowl so deep.

Thanks Nick,

It took a while to register but I see your point.

It is more appreciated since your are having a bad day and catching a lot of flack from the "perfect one".

BTW: steeply
