Thanks so much Larry. I appreciate the info. That has been bugging me so much. I did some digging around and heard that was normal but could not find out why. Now it all makes sense. I would like to get some doweling bits! It’s a shame they are not made anymore. I can totally use regular bits, I just like using the vintage style now that I have a Brace. Thanks again.
I know this is a old thread but I finally got a vintage set of Irwin Auger bits and mine are exactly the same. Oversized! I really wanted to try some draw boring with them, but it’s defeats the purpose when a dowel is loose in the hole. Kind of a real bummer. I measured my 1” auger with a caliper and it was 1.015”. Not sure why they did that. I guess I can still use them for drilling out mortise holes but really wanted to fit dowels into the holes they would bore. If anyone’s knows why Irwin did this, I’d like to know.
