I have a large collection of drills - power drills and hand drills. Woodworkers still prefer hand drills for certain operations, especially those where precision is required. A breast drill would be used if the material is especially hard, like rosewood. The breastplate pressed against your chest allows you to apply extra pressure. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 47 mins (2008-07-02 21:25:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://tinyurl.com/26qfbb |
