Does anybody have an object of a drill bit, or a suggestion on how to
make one.
I tried lathing 2 curves with an offset to get a nice helix with 2 curved
troughs, and then did a boolean subtract with helix in BG and a cylinder
in FG. It sorta worked, but no matter how many variations I tried I
always ended up with missing polygons in final object. I know it can be
done - but I'm just not doing something right :(. Any ideas....?
