I have an old hand brace that I would like to start using more often. It seems that wood auger sets with fine thread lead screws are somewhat hard to find at affordable prices. I can't spend $40 for a single auger bit, but I'm willing to spend twice that for a small set. Irwin makes, or used to make a set of bits that are compatible with the chuck on a hand brace but they aren't available from the big river or elsewhere I've looked. I may have to start piecing a set together from ebay.

In the meantime, I thought I'd risk getting laughed at and ask if anyone has tried using this set from HF with a hand brace?

Those appear to have a fine thread lead screw which is important for working with harder woods.

Any other recommendations for an affordable set of auger bits?
