Out of curiosity, why a Forstner bit? Don't dog holes go all the way
through?


Ok, a spade bit. I figured the entry hole would be cleaner.


I've never used a Forstner bit in other than a drill press. Seems I read
somewhere they weren't safe otherwise.


Poppycosh. (I've never used that word, until now.)
I use them all the time in a hand held drill.
