Forstner bit to drill through plastic

Sep 20, 2017 2 Replies

Can I use a Forstner bit to drill through plastic, maybe 3/32 - 1/8" thick?. I'd back it with piece of wood.



I need two 1 1/16" holes, and then I'll probably never use it again.



Here is a cheap one:

Or is there another or better, not too expensive way? .



Tnx

I just drilled a hole 1 1/2 inch in 3/4" plastic yesterday with a forstner in the drill press.. Not a real simple job, but definitely better than a hole saw, which is your other choice.

Sandwich it between 2 pieces of wood
