Anyone used these for cutting a 35mm hole for the kitchen cabinet hinges?
in
hard wood doors????
can you use a ordinary hand drill? carefully!

A drill press would be the ideal tool, if you can borrow one from someone,
but I would imagine that a hand drill (if you mean hand powered, not
electric or cordless) would make the hole OK if somewhat slowly.

Sometimes I think hand tools give a more controlable result.
