At which point you'll be whistling, I mean, fluting, Dixie?

Will try and remember to give it a go tomorrow...
It's possible it'll just bind solid but the bolt won't
move - and the
drill will...

I'd guess that a left ground right bit would scrape, rather
than drill. I can't imagine it being at all useful.

I wuz gonna ask that too.
But, I imagine you can grind the cutting edges so they'll
work, but the
flutes sure won't wanna move the chips up out of the hole,
will they?

The bit is only intended to catch hold of the broken bolt with a
reversible drill motor and twist the broken bolt out of the hole. The
flute at the end is ground to cut at a low angle to catch the bolt and
remove it. You can drill a small pilot hole in the center of a stubborn
bolt for the left hand sharpened tip to catch. Done it for years prior to
retiring. Use the method still if needed.
Don't need it as often, that's all.

If need be I have three different styles of easy outs. The long twist with
a tap wrench end, square easy outs with cut edges to catch and short ones
with many edges that have hex heads to turn them out. The reverse drill
bit is a first try and quickest. Snap-On and Mac carry them all if you
care to look the styles of easy outs up.

Left hand drills have left twist to remove chips. There are router
bits and CNC bits, however, that are 'downcutting' so that chips are
kept away from the surface for specialized reasons.
