A drill bit that goes around corners. #tools #shorts #contractor #construction

What happens here

After drilling an initial hole, reposition the drill and bit to start another hole adjacent to the first. Using the steering technique described previously, guide the bit to cut into the side of the first hole, effectively removing the material between them. Repeat this process, drilling and steering to overlap multiple holes, until the desired width and length of the mortise or slot is achieved. This method is shown by the presenter drilling several holes close together, then steering the bit to connect them and carve out a rectangular opening.

Goal: Leveraging the steering capability, the bit can be used to drill multiple overlapping holes to create a mortise or a broader slot.
