Central, IN | So I am a little stumped and more then happy for some good information in this area. I have bought winters drill bits for a long time and have gotten along great with them. If I grabbed a 1/2 bit it would drill the hole and I could put in a 1/2 bolt. Same with 1/4,3/8 etc etc. Best I can find winters isn't really selling bits any more so I found another company at the farm show that I thought was going to give me the same quality after talking to them. So I put together an order for what I needed to refill my stock which was a pretty good order becasue it has been awhile. I go to drill a half inch hole and can't get a bolt to go in. On top of that the hole doesn't look to be round but more ob longed. I grab another new bit and same thing. So I call the compay and here is what I get told. Am told a 1/2 bit won't drill a hole for a 1/2 bolt. Instead I need to use a reamer after I drill the hole in order to make it work for a bolt????????? Are ya kidding me or is this for real. This is the first time in my life of having this happen or hearing this. Please tell me if this guy is right or not. And the ob long hole is my drill no matter what it has to be my drill. If I am wrong please tell me but I feel like I just waisted a chunk of change. | |
