    If you have patience, tip shop, garage sales, junk sales/auctions are your best bet.

    If you are impatient or want metric then just apply $$$'s. Dieter Schmid is a reliable source and his assessments are fair.

    You can get an adaptor to fit your old brace that will take these Wood Owl bits. I just bought a 1" from Taytools.com with the adaptor. They are pricey but work beautifully.

    I was about to use my brace for hogging out my plane mortise and realized most of my bits were crap and ended up using the other cordless drill. I now know what to look for and won't buy anymore unless they are in great shape minus any rust. Disappointing.

    Hi BP. I wouldn't worry too much about rust. I have used a citric acid bath (75grams to 750millilitres) to clean up auger bits and it works really well. Soak for about an hour and use coarse steel wool to clean off rust.

    Sorry. You will have to convert from decimal to imperial
