Porchsitters,

Following the advice of the SGFH, I've been
accumulating hollow augers in the event that I someday
might need one.  In the interest of research, I
thought it would be good to acquire different makes to
be able to compare them to see which works best for
me.  To date, there are E. C. Stearns, A. A. Woods, 
Cincinnati Tool and Goodell-Pratt hollow augers taking
up space on a shelf in the shop.  All are at about the
same state of untuning.

 This upcoming fall I'll be taking a chairmaking class
with Drew Langsner so I am looking for recommendations
from anyone that has some experience or opinions about
these beasts.  Which works well and which don't? 
What's a good angle for the bevel? 

As always opinions do not need to be supported by any
facts, experience or common sense.
