And now I wish I had one!

There have been far too many occasions where I picked the wrong bit to begin with and then struggled to enlarge it without making a mess of things.

The bonus of not drawing the bit in farther than I want would be wonderful – I don’t have a drill press yet and am constantly battling drilling too deep, too fast.

Thanks!
