    Brace Accessory with 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) and 9 mm hex.
    I have tried them with hex screwdriver bits, hex drill bits, hex auger bits, they hold the lot rock solid. 🙂

    These auger bits work great with the above holders

    Very hard to get tapered square shanks now those bit holders may be the way to go.

    haha, all the tool geeks come out of the cracks! 🙂 🙂 🙂
    I must confess to the same guilty vice! No pun – nor offence – intended!!

    Last night, while watching Paul’s third dovetail caddy video, I was tempted to buy the veritas small router plane – and ended up buying the bloody miniature router instead! http://www.axminster.co.uk/veritas-veritas-miniature-router-plane-prod868111/
    On the damn credit card – you know, the piece of plastic needing cutting up? 🙂

    Recently also bought a Tyzack router (like that square red one behind P’s bench) which I have sharpened up and used on Lucy – beautiful, large flat platen; and also joined you chaps in the Brace department, both lustful purchases via ebay.

    Happy tool-hunting!

    incidentally, when I bought my brace, it came with a set of centre-bits, dated 1945 – with the Broad Arrow stamp. I have yet to use them in anger, though. I have also found that using a brace as a “power” screw-driver works well, especially in those places where a battery-powered model has difficulty. And, like all hand tool aficionados, I find that one has so much more CONTROL than with a power tool.
