The subject was brought up recently, so I thought I'd show how I do
it. You have a drilled hole that is too small. You can't just put
a bigger sized Forstner or spade bit it the hole because it has
nowhere to center. Here's the solution!

Take a correct size forstner bit and drill a hole in a 3/8 or 1/2"
piece of scrap. Center this hole over the original smaller hole and
clamp in place. Using this as a guide drill out the smaller hole
with the forstner bit.

This is for when you have forstner bits but no Harbor Freight within
30 miles (as I am).


I do realize there are other ways to do this and I've offered several of
them in the past.
Next time you're at a HF, I encourage you to pick up a set of these bits
because there are many, many other uses for them. They make nice, clean
cuts in metal and the HF ones are sharper than I thought they would be.

If you watched the video, you saw how ridiculously fast this is.
