    AHA! Thanks for the tip - search results:

    Early braces had no chuck at all, but a square hole, usually with a setscrew. The tapered square shank of the bit will fit even if it's imprecisely forged or worn.

    The variety of bitstock tools was pretty large back when one did much work with a brace. Wandering a bit from the original post, I'll attach a few pictures of some of the stuff I've accumulated.

    A couple of variants of the chain head, one with bitstock to bitstock chuck, one with bitstock to 1/2 inch round arbor.

    A bench full of assorted tools, including some one-size dowel cutters, spoke pointer, 3-jaw chucks, reamers, screwdriver bits and a circle cutter.

    And an assortment of multi-size dowel cutters. Some use a rotating guide, some an adjustable guide, and the last on the right used a replaceable bushing, of which only one remains for this one. The rotating guide versions are ingenious in that they require no resetting of the blade for different sizes, but they're clumsy to use.
