We're a bit quiet at the moment and I'm putting the lull to good use by reorganising our workshop and building two large MFT type tables. However when it comes to drilling the numerous 20mm holes (using a OF1010 and LR32 of course) I'm struggling to find a reasonably priced spiral up cut bit in the UK. Anyone have any suggestions? I've been quoted £276 with Titman and drawn a blank at Trend.  Unsure

I had the same problem when I was making my version of Ron Paulks UWB, and in the end marked out a grid and used a 20mm Zobo bit in the T15.

Worked a treat

It's what I would call a hinge boring router bit.

It can make a flat bottom hole or a through hole about 25 mm deep. It's meant to spin a lot faster than a typical forstner bit, which are meant to be used with drills.

Yeah I didnt kno what they where called!  I just said forstner bit as I didnt kno the name of the router version of them,  just look the similar -ish  but obviously with a shank which would fit a router and can handle higher speeds.  


 You see I would of just gone to my local dealer and looked in his large display or gone internet searching to find a ''forstner'' hinge boring router bit.     I should of looked on the internet for the proper name before I gave my advise to be honest!  I was being lazy!

 Thanks

Thanks chaps. Have ordered the festal cutter and a slightly cheaper equivalent from Titman. I'll let you know how they perform. I managed to build several storage racks yesterday too.... photo's to follow!
