Handwork in Wood

CHAPTER IV
99/111

The size is indicated on the tang, in 16ths of an inch.

They are useful in boring into end grain, and in boring part way into wood so thin that a spur would pierce thru.

They can be sharpened only with special appliances.
_Expansive-bits_, Fig.

134, are so made as to bore holes of different sizes by adjusting the movable nib and cutter.

There are two sizes, the small one with two cutters, boring from 1/2" to 1-1/2" and the large one with three cutters boring from 7/8" to 4".
