It functions like a typical egg beater using a rotating gear on the side connected to a single pinion that powers the drill shaft. The egg beater makes small holes on wood similar to the gimlet, usually as pilot holes for screws. It is more precise and more versatile than the gimlet because you can change the drill bit.
The egg beater drill is perfect for making concave holes to fit the head of countersunk screws, using a countersunk bit. With the egg beater drill you can manually control the speed and depth of drilling. The brace and bit drill is a neat and dandy tool to make holes in wood. It has a crank-shaped arm with a brace handle that rotates degree on a center axis, with a flat and round head handle on top and the drill bit at the bottom.
The brace and bit drill are used by a woodworker to make holes for mortices and peg holes for joints. It uses auger bits for ease of drilling.

If not, you will not achieve the desired square hole in wood. Ensure that the blade of the cutting tool is razor-sharp and clean enough. Necessary tools: Chisels Framing squares Sledgehammers Sandpapers The instruction: Take a framing square to picture square lines for drilling. Put the head of the chisel in the position of one in four angles of the square hole.
Use a sledgehammer to hit the chisel lightly. Continue hitting gently until you see the bottom of the wooden sheet. Repeat the process for other angles of the square hole.

Drilling a straight hole in wood is not just about placing the drill perpendicular to the wood and starting drilling. The hole will not be straight if the drill bit is shaking. Similarly, a little mistake in the orientation of the drill bit can ruin the shape of the hole. CD can act as a guide to drill straight holes in wood. Mark a spot where you want to drill a hole with a marker.
Place the CD in such a way that the marked hole centers the middle of the disk. Now, position the drill bit on spot and start drilling a straight hole. The reflection on the CD helps to drill straight. If the drill bit and the reflection line up straight instead of angled, the drill will make a perfectly straight hole in the wood.
This L-shaped scrap acts as a jig for drilling straight holes. Place the L-shaped jig on the wood you want to drill. Position the drill bit tight in the corner and start drilling a straight hole.
