Question please:
#1
Combined drill and countersinks: Why do they also come in left hand?--- Is this due to being used in multiple head drills were the spindles turn in oposite directions?

Thanks.

Yes, but also in some of the older cam-operated "swiss" style (sliding headstock) lathes which used LH tools on backworking operations.
