extenders for the forstner is also available. Just make sure you get
the one with 4 set screws to hold the shaft in place.

I'm thinking that forstners are maybe too short. I've got the obligatory
set of them and I don't think the shanks are much more than three inches or
so. They'd do fine for shallow objects - I've used them for that - but I've
never seen Long forstners, say 6-12 inches.


Someone (Craft Supplies?) sells a Morse taper extender. Could you drill to
the depth of the Forstner, put the extender between the drill chuck and the
tailstock, and drill another 5 inches or so?
