Default Double margin drill bits
Just found a reference to these on Pan American Tool website.
They look like they might be useful to us in certain cases. Perhaps when drilling larger diameter holes in thin sheet stock.
It sounds like they drill a more accurate hole.
Anyone got experience with these?

Yes, and they are quiet nice for thin sheet like finish drilling skins etc.

Just received another order of cobalt stoveburner drills from them. They work best for drilling aluminum. Built two airplanes with a dozen 30`s and 40`s.

Thanks for the replies. Hadn't noticed the other thread.
I guess I will try them out.
