More on Colt <strong>Pen</strong> DrillsGeoff Brown wrote: Hi FredI have just caught up with my reading <strong>and</strong> wasnaturally very pleased to see the positive reaction byDon Ward to the Colt <strong>Pen</strong>Blank Drill Bits.<strong>The</strong> range of sizes is much wider than Don Wardrealizes as you can see from the attached list. Many ofyour readers may be looking for some of these sizes,which are all used for the different mechanisms whichare available on the market.—GeoffEditor’s Response: I’m not sure anyone here inthe US is carrying all of those sizes. Mildred purchasedme the five or six sizes in a set that Woodcraft sells forChristmas along with most of the Forstner bits thatWoodcraft had on h<strong>and</strong>. <strong>The</strong> Colt drills are wonderful,in my opinion.—Fred HolderNote: Geoff sent me a table of sizes of pen drill available.I’ve reproduced it below for what it is worth tomy readers.More Woodturning June 2010 Page 29
