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

What happens here

Once a straight hole has been initiated, and the bit is fully engaged in the material, subtly angle the drill to one side. The Rover bit, due to its specialized cutting geometry, will follow the angle of the drill, effectively 'steering' the hole in a curved or angled path. This technique allows for drilling around corners or creating custom-shaped channels without 'washing' (slipping) across the surface, providing a guided angled cut through the material from within the hole itself. This is demonstrated by the presenter starting a hole straight then tilting the drill to make the bit exit at a different point on the side.

Goal: After creating an initial entry point, the unique design of the Rover bit allows it to be 'steered' to change the angle or direction of the hole while drilling.

What they say

Hide

All right, Mitch. What are we looking at with this now? This uh Stan, this is our patented rover bit that's designed to go around corners. So, I can start here, turn the bit, and actually come out the other side. Also, if I have one hole here, one hole here, and another hole here, I can move that bit. If there's a mortise that needs to get crossed right on the corner, you don't want it to wash. You're going to steer
