Back in the '60's, we used to have mechanical drawings on how to make stuff 
like that, square holes, offset half the diameter etc stuff.  IIRC the 
engineers at Martin Marietta published those.  But I never actually saw on of 
those drill bits.  I read the whole thing (about 10 pages of very detailed 
drawings not even James Randi could make) and was forced to use a goodly 
quanity of salt to get it all down. :)
