Posted this on the main board but maybe you all know more.

Regarding ship auger bits: What is a barefoot drill and how is it used?

Thanks Kevin

got the Fuller link on the Main Board. Unfortunately they don't share how to convert a "regular" auger to barefoot. Obviously, the screw tip gets ground off but it seems that the end twist must get reground to make it cut better. I sent them an email, will see of they share.
