box of drill bits

larry@stinescorner · Apr 9, 2016

My friend Jim bought a box with two pulleys and some drill bits at the auction today. He wanted the two pulleys,,,and did not have any use for these drill bits.Im going to give them to a neighbor in PA That has a big drill press and machine shop.

It was snowing today so they got all wet,I dried them off and sprayed wd on them.

What is this?It says ,,,Butterfield,made in VT ,U.S.A,

I'd say tapered reamer.....

Tapered reamer. Butterfield was a high quality maker of cutting tools, from Vermont? I don't know if they are still in business.

Taper reamer but it looks like it's been sharpened...A LOT.

It looks like that was a good auction to be at!

If you or he knows how to sharpen bits you got a good deal, if not, not so much. On second thought, that 3/4 bit,(looks pretty close to that) would cost a bit and looks like its not broken and you got one adapter, I think. But you gotta know how to sharpen them. Most are for various sizes of Morse taper for use in a drill press.
