crazy drill bit cuts hexagonal holes !
Hello,
Have been inserting hexagonal nuts and bolt heads into home made knobs
Have tried using chisel, have tried using dremel, both were awkward but doable.
Can't help thinking there is a better way involving a jig or a templats
Whilst googling the problem I found this thread
Photos Making hex head holes in knife handles - Page 3
with this video
hexagon hole drilling using the vika attachment. - YouTube
anybody use any other ways of cutting accurate hexagonal holes ?

Parser
Thanks for the reply,
Interesting gadget
Need to read it again to better understand it - but it looks like its a method used to exactly match various shaped holes and inserts.

I would be tempted to drill a slightly undersize round hole.
Go back into that with wood carver's tools such as a V tool at 60 degrees to match the corners of the hex nuts. Won't take much.
