Default Is there a tool to control depth of hand drilling?

Also what are drill bits called that can create a cyclinder hole, for a
CAM? So the bottom of the hole is flat. I assume there are drill bits
for a hand drill that can do this? There's the "bit of tape on the bit" bit, and stop collars are screwed onto bits to the desired depth, but this'll be a little tougher with the Forstner-type bits you should be looking into. And yes, they'll work in a hand drill. Drill slowly. Tom
