Thanks for that - now have a name for it - a 'piloted' drill!Thanks for the advice/experience. The piloted drill is a good idea.
I might buy a cheap one from Toolfix and see how easy it is to add a pilot.
In the metalworking world, they have piloted counterbores, which is a similar idea.
Maybe adapt a hole saw?
