The two speed Goodell Pratt no. 5 1/2B I have works by far the best of the hand drills I have so far. If you come across another two speed breast drill version, please let me know.<br /><br />Thanks again for the help and camaraderie.<br />Gerhard Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00343765776239274479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627331616161641107.post-35150743650917862742016-06-01T13:19:56.897-03:002016-06-01T13:19:56.897-03:00Hi Stefan

Years ago I buld a small stand alone holder to hold two brace, which I used on the bench. Works, but my holder was a bit tipsy, ended up fastening on the bench.

As far as breast drills goes, for your ...Hi Gerhard<br />As far as breast drills goes, for your intended "hard" timbers I strongly recommend a two speed models. There are lots of variation on the similar design exhibited by the MF No 12, pull the gear off and move it to a different hole to engage inner gear. You would appreciate the two speeds (different gear ratios, I think mine are 1 to 1 and 3 to 1?) Around here they seems to go for between CDN $34-42. Since buying mine I came across two more...<br /><br />BobValley Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322487171914484954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627331616161641107.post-16690138872161983592016-06-01T08:37:19.910-03:002016-06-01T08:37:19.910-03:00Bob, I love your collection of boring tools.
