They used something similar in the early day's in the woodworking business http://home.planet.nl/~eynderho/vierkant.htm http://idsamp.wordpress.com/2009/10/07/drilling-sq uare-holes/ (Message edited by Brother in buells on October 14, 2011) | ||

I know these have been around for the last 100yrs. they were used in boat building most of the old boats were peged to geather. | ||

But the peg drill combined drilling and broaching. The square hole milling machine is a clever geared/cammed/??? machining operation. Even though I'd wonder about the long-term survivale of the drive system - it's sure cool to watch! | ||

Mortise-and-tenon craftsmanship is wondrous to behold! "Real craftsmen" don't use nails | ||

I was in a boat building shop back in the 60 tys and it was a old shop then in New Orleans and they had a tool that would drill a square hole and the boats were pened to gether with square pegs this one was hand powered with a brace and bit. I dont know the proper name for it. the old man that owned the shop had been a boat builder in the 1920 s | ||

I remember we had a mortise bit for the drill press back in high school wood shop. But it was just a regular bit with four V chisels around it. But that's really cool. |
