I used the Peeron partnumber, would that be correct?
I have determined that the shape of the "body" of the drill is

are useable for such a curved cone shape? Or is the solution simply to
use a series of ring primitives?
The hole in the end is a compination of a peghole and axelhole, has
this been done as a subpart?

If you do find a way to use primitives, you'll probably need to use the \48
ones.  I don't think 16 segments is enough for the thicker part of the drill,
and switching from one resolution to another part-way along seems like it would
be tricky.

To be honest, I'm not sure it's even feasible to use primitives.  Matrices may
be able to give you skews, but I'm not sure they can give you a skew in the Y
dimension while at the same time giving you a stretch in the X-Z plane that is
dependent on the final Y value.
