I once got some flat wood bits that were supposed to be by Dewalt, from an ebay seller. I don't think they were dewalt, but they were excellent!

Flat wood bits are my favorite for drilling wood, I'll keep my eyes out for the Bosch ones :wink:

I have never used auger bits as they take up too much room in the tool box.

You can get a full set of flat bits in a toolbox and they hardly take up any room at all.

these clear the hole pretty good as well. I only paid £12 for mine on ebay.

I use these mostly for doors and kitchens speed.

Sharpening saws? wouldn't have the patience :-P

I used a small flat file but its hard to keep the angle straight, worked for a bit but didn't last long, might try the sharpening stone see how I get on.
