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!

Step Drill.

But you can drill a hole bigger with a true Forstner bit.


'splain, por favor. Go a picture?




A true and well made forstner bit is capable of cutting a
cove/scallop out of the edge of a board. It does not use a center
point to guide it, the edges guide it.

I think I know what you're talking about. I have some Forstners that
are basically circular knives that slice around the circumference and
I've actually done what you describe... but it took a very steady hand.
