I have used a Forstner bits with half way decent results HarorFreight
carries an inexpensive set that has the size that you are looking for. Also
Cummins Industrial Tools has a good set of Forstner bits as well.

Am looking for a way to make a 1 1/2" dia. hole, ~1 1/2" deep with minimal
bottom indentation (flat-bottomed hole). I have a 1/2 hp drill press and a
3/4 hp lathe.

38 mm is also acceptable.

I want to make the hole in one pass. This is not a critical appearance
item but, of course, better is better.

What is my best choice of drill bit and who, if you know, has them for
yesterday delivery?

Bill
