All thewood-lvorking bits are true cutting tools, and their angles, if analysed,will be found not to differ much from those of the razor and commonchisel. The drills for metal furnish examples both of scrapers andcuttirig tools. The common drill is only a scraper, but all the twistdrills cut with good incisive action. An advantage possessed by alldrills is that the cutting forces are balanced on each side of thecentre of rotation. The same action is embodied in the best wood-boring bits and augers, as the Jennings, the Cilpin an
