  Drill bit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The twist drill bit was invented by Steven A. Morse[1] of East Bridgewater, Massachusetts in 1861.
Center drill bits are used in metalworking to provide a starting hole for a larger sized drill bit, or a conical indentation in the end of a workpiece to mount a lathe center.
These bits are available both in a version similar to an auger bit or brace bit, designed for low speed, high torque use with a brace or other hand drill (pictured to the right), or as a high speed, low torque bit meant for a power drill.

 Drill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A drill is a tool with a rotating drill bit used for drilling holes in various materials.
The drill bit is gripped by a chuck at one end of the drill, and is pressed against the target material and rotated.
Generally, the drill chuck of the rotary hammer drill is designed to hold SDS drill bits.

 WoodCentral Articles & Reviews
Sure, I’ve also done plenty with long bell hanger’s bits in electric drills and a helper sighting from one side while I both drilled and sighted from the other, but like all conventional machine bits, there is always the risk of the bit wandering in inconsistent grain and the exit hole not being perfectly centered.
The bit extensions designed for the brace take some searching, as many antique tool dealers don’t know what they are; however, because of that are equally inexpensive.
The brace is also the best tool by far to remove those screws when the time comes, as it combines massive torque with the sensitivity required to break any rust bonding without stripping the slot.

Bits are used to drill holes in wood for bolts and for pilot holes for nails and screws.
Twist bits are intended for use on steel, but the smaller bits can be used for drilling pilot holes in wood for nails and screws (see Appendix D for appropriate pilot hole sizes).
Chisel bits tend to tear up the wood around the hole on the top and bottom surfaces of the wood, but they are readily available in diameters of one-sixteenth of an inch increments.

 BIT BRACES
Iron-framed bit braces are uniquely American tools that were developed independently of the earlier wood-framed "wheelwright’s braces," English brass plated braces, and the Sheffield steel framed "ultimatum" braces of the Nineteenth Century.
Even before there were manufactured braces, the need to bore holes was satisfied, at least in part, by braces wrought by flsmiths, and made almost wholly by the material they knew best--iron.
The earliest American patents for bit holding chucks and construction details go back to the 1830s, and a plethora of patents for chucks, ratchet mechanisms, etc. appeared from 1860 to the early 1900s, some of which, such as Darling's, are quite unique.

 Digital Collection - Auger Bit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The screw auger is the most efficient type of bit because it pulls itself into the material and forces shavings out the top of the hole, but it is more expensive and difficult to make than a flat bit.
This screw auger bit is permanently fixed in a long wooden handle which allows downward pressure and leverage for turning to be applied to the bit.
A brace allows the bit to be spun continuously without the necessity to reposition the hands at each turn.

Because it is drawn to scale, you can tape it to the edge of a door and use it to drill pilot holes for the screws (when they are needed), a 1- to 2- 1/8-inch hole for the lock body, and a 1-inch hole for the bolt assembly.
If the door you're drilling into is solid wood, drill the hole for the lock body nearly all the way through the door until the pilot bit just breaks the surface on the other side of the door.
After the lock body hole is drilled, drill the hole for the bolt mechanism using a 1-inch holesaw or spade bit.

 Tapered Spoon Bit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
When reaming a prebored straigth sided hole, the spoon bit is inserted into the hole and rotated in a clockwise direction with a carpenters' brace, until the desired taper is achieved.
the Parallel spoon bits are primarily used for boring holes - either vertically or at an angle - to take the back "spokes" of Windsor chairs; thus holes may be bored in the seat, the curved back or the "stringers" and arms.
The spoon bit may be honed by using a slipstone on the inside of the cutting edge - never touch the outside edge!

 On Become Unplugged
By pushing on the brace's pivoting "head" end and turning the middle, the carpenter can rotate a cutting bit fixed in its "chuck" end continuously, and with tremendous force.
Although a brace will accept any drill, an auger bit with a lead screw which pulls the cutting edge into the wood is most efficient.
Using a brace and bit is as simple as lining up the bit, holding the head steady in one hand—if possible against the body—and turning the brace with the other hand, as if cranking an old-fashioned ice cream freezer.
