[QUOTE="TheTallGuy, post: 5183440, member: 9121"] Proper old auger bit rather than modern Chinesium stuff makes a huge difference - I inherited a load & even the blunt/rusty ones cut better than most modern bits. A few weeks back I put a 3/4 hole the long way through a sleeper using a hand brace without breaking a sweat! I think that modern bits don't have the right profile on the cutting edges, the cutting reliefs and flute forms also just don't seem to match up to the old. I reckon that it's because the manufacturers assume the drill will make up for the deficiencies in the bit. [/QUOTE]
