a forstner bit is a large hunk of steel.
it is almost a complete circle with cutting teeth around the bottom
outside edge.
then crossing from the outside to the center point there are 2
straight cutting edges that take out the wood in the middle.
they make a very clean hole.

We have never heard exactly what size of hole is needed. If this is a umbrella
over a table it is probably two inch or less. A spade or some call a paddle
bit may be the chapest bit to buy and will cut a pretty clean hole for a picnic
table.

Yah like I said in an earlier post, it's for an umbrella pole. I'll get a spade
bit then.

We have never heard
A Forstner bit is really more of a boring bit than a drill bit. It is used
when you need to make a circular cut in something and need a flat bottom when
finished. They are circular in shape and some have a spur in the center that
is slightly longer than the cutters around the edge.
If you
hole saws are also great for making a boundary when you wish to route out
wood that is not as deep as the full thickness of the wood. The pilot bit
is a consideration then n however.

Dear List members:
I have used whole-saws to cut wholes in wood
One thing fly cutters are good for, haha is marking a circle you wish to
cut with a jig or saber saw. I have one that goes (with one cutter) out to
8 inches.
So I will tork it around by hand till I've made a nice deep marking to
follow.
I'm glad you wrote this, as prior I was under the
what is this item?
Please describe.

Another option might be forstner bits.
Although my fly cutter is an 8 inch radius, I have two cutters on it. It
can be tricky making sore they are both exactly equidistant from center
(at my level of compotence) but it does help ofor some balance.
I got it from McMaster Carr supply.

Hi, we just tried to access the website and it could not be found. Is it
preceeded by www or http? Some websites don't use the www. And I
made sure we used comcast.net. We also tried .com and that didn't work
either.
Thanks,
