In reply to my push drill question, Ralph wrote -

        One thing to be aware of, though, is that the new Stanley/Yankee
bits are
        twist drills, NOT the 2-flute style used on the older drills.

        This may be a niggling point to most people, but for Shaker box
bands the
        twist drills are a real problem.  The point on the end of the twist
bit
        makes it nearly impossible to drill a hole in the end of a box
finger
        without splitting.  The 2-flute bits with their flat tips don't have
this
        problem.

        The 2-flute bits are very difficult to find in the smallest two
sizes (which
        of course are the ones I need for box work).  I buy any that I
see...

        Thanks for pointing this out Ralph, since my primary reason for
buying a push drill was for Shaker boxes.
