Dormer Metal Drill Bits

[pitch pine]

Seven imperial sized metal cutting drill bits with tapered shanks. Three are marked "Dormer" but the others are of a similar quality. I won't use them but can't bear to chuck them out. Can anyone use these? Free if you cover postage. Send a PM.

Those are interesting! I wonder if they were supposed to be used in conjunction with something like a boilermakers ratchet drill rather than a woodworkers brace.

I've found them a couple of times in lots of tooling, never seen what they fit though!

I think that's right. I've already got a few, so I will leave this for someone else. Nice gesture from PP.

You know how to stop me getting on with what I'm supposed to doing.

Thanks for that Trevanion. Another unusual feature of these bits was a pair of letters stamped on them. I can't remember what as I have posted them already. I haven't seen drill bits marked with the owners initials before and wondered if it meant something else about the bits, Another point of note is I absolutely can't remember where these came from. I think someone just left them in my shed one day....
