27mm Forstner

Does Festool sell a 27mm or 1 1/16" Forstner bit? I can't find it on their web page.

If you can't find a Festool bit in that size, here is another source for quality bits.  I purchased some of the FAMAG Premium Forstner drill bits and they cut very nicely.

Although Festool don't market it, you can buy a Zobo Forstner that is 27mm.

See http://www.timbertools.com/Products/Drill-bits-Zobo-central-drilling-systems.html for an example, although you may need to search around for the best price; it's about $95 at that link.
