A D-bit reamer. Done by yourself. Needs some trying and fiddling to get it
running and make a nice and smooth surfaces.
I'm making a variant of a D-bit. I call it G-bit. Looks like a D-bit, except
I cut out only one segment (thus the G) and not two segments (the D).
The "G-bit" has better support.
Not the fastest way to drill a hole. :-)
