Well, I've seen "drills" which can drill SQUARE holes, so I don't suppose it
would be completely impossible to make a variant which could drill a
triangular one!   :)

ps.  the "drill", mounted in a drill press, is actually an assemblege of a
hollow NON-ROTATING square "pipe" with sharp edges at the bottom, with a
regular drill INSIDE it, presumably sticking some distance down from the
bottom of the hollow square pipe, such that the drill drills a round hole
almost the size of the square, the pipe's sharp edges then chisels out the
remaining wood as the drill is advanced through it.  Might not work so well
for a triangle, as there would be more wood left in the corners of a
triangular hole than in the corners of a square one.
