You are using the wrong bit to drill the pilot hole. Cut the head
off
one
of the finish nails, chuck it into your drill and use it to drill
your
pilot
hole.

That's quite absurd. A nail will not drill into solid oak, a nail is
not
a
drill bit.


Quite quickly will the nail will spin through the wood.



Sure it will go through if you push hard enough, but it's poor practice



Not real hard at all. Poor practice? Why would you say such a thing?
