I need to drill 3/4" holes in 1/2" oak and the hole I get with a forstener is what I like, although as I'm covering the hole with a grommet, beauty isn't everything.
Trouble with the forstener is they don't last long AT ALL and I haven't seen anything like a more durable carbide tipped one etc. (?)
Using a spade bit is a pain as they're hard to get true and have to clamp etc.
Maybe I should do a hole saw but what do you think? Need something I can use to do a good quantity, reliably.
Do they make a carbide forstener? Haven't seen anything.
