What's wrong with
a hand held drill and a Forstner bit?


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

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

I've drilled the holes for Euro style hinges with my cordless Dewalt,
worked perfectly and I can still count to ten.
