I once got some flat wood bits that were supposed to be by Dewalt, from an ebay seller. I don't think they were dewalt, but they were excellent!

Flat wood bits are my favorite for drilling wood, I'll keep my eyes out for the Bosch ones

They are great for drilling any size hole in wood.

You can see my dewalt ones in use here-

I have never used auger bits as they take up too much room in the tool box.

You can get a full set of flat bits in a toolbox and they hardly take up any room at all.

these clear the hole pretty good as well. I only paid £12 for mine on ebay.

I use these mostly for doors and kitchens speed.

Sharpening saws? wouldn't have the patience

I used a small flat file but its hard to keep the angle straight, worked for a bit but didn't last long, might try the sharpening stone see how I get on.
