[TheForge] followup on holes in saw blade

[Dave Smucker]

I think you can still by "left hand" drill bits and other left hand tooling.  These where once common for use in multi-spindle drill press where every other spindle turned in reverse because of single drive and gear drive between spindles.  Worked just fine.  Today on new multi-spindle units all spindles have their own motor.
