Gerald Lamb asks:
Both DeWalt and Irwin, among others, make 2" (and smaller and larger) self feed bits that will do this work easily. They have a cone-like spur in the center and fairly large teeth around the outside rim, but otherwise resemble Forstner bits--I suggest very strongly that you do NOT consider a Forstner bit for your particular needs, though.

Try a local plumbing supply for "self feeding" bits. They are NOT cheap, and you better have a good drill, AND keep a good grip on it. Nahmie
And, if you have long beard keep it out of the chuck while the drill is running.
Hey Carlie, can you elaborate a little on the NOT. Is it because of the pine pitch?

Does it have to be exactly 2" ? 2 1/8" spur bits are used for drilling door locks. They can go $60.00 at some places. Maybe cheaper on-line, but probably not, especially including shipping. Don't know these folks at all, but here's a link:
