BUT you are going to way too much trouble to clean up the tear out.
Simply lightly push those whiskers back away from the hole with a block
of wood wrapped in sand paper and then sand with the grain.


My method took only about as long as it would take to "push the whiskers
back". It was more luck than design; that attachment was on the tool,
and the tool was hanging over the bench I was working at. But it turned
out to be very efficient, a couple of seconds per hole. One or two
quick swipes did the job. The other nice thing was that I was able to
clean up each set of holes immediately after drilling them, with the
wood still in the vise.



A couple of seconds to long. You have to sand anyway... might as well
let the sander di ot all in one step.
