Peeling Fruit with a Drill
Finally found a good use for spade bits!
In an earlier post I asked who among you uses spade bits, as I couldn't think of any reason to use one over a Forstner bit. Some of you sounded off on positive reasons to use them, but none of you proposed using them like this:
Yes, I know it's totally silly. But I have to admit that if my girlfriend left me alone in the kitchen after one of her annual apple-picking trips, she'd probably return to find an enormous mess (and me holding a drill with a dead battery). And it might be worth getting yelled at for.

Was thinking... If you lowered the gearing on a lathe and put the spade bit in a 3-jawed chuck then you could free-hand the peeler... Add a set of fruit/vegetable carving tools and... Endless possibilities. ☺

Just find the right-sized hole saw attachment, Juan. ☺
So timely! We have an apple tree and I have like 50 apples I need to peel, core and slice and freeze. Wonder if I can drill the core out... I'll let you know!
