[QUOTE="borntofight00, post: 1521047, member: 34148"] Hello, I am looking for a solution for drilling holes for Hafele Onefix connectors, 20mm diameter. I would normally use forstner bits for this kind of job, if not the fact that I will be drilling in 15mm plywood and the hole itself is 12.5mm, so I'm a bit worried about the bad point which will be very close to drill through. I will have a solid jig, made of steel (something like concealed hinges jig) that will hold the drill vertically so I wonder if I can simply use widely available routing bit to achieve flat bottomed holes? Or is there anything against doing this? Btw. I know about the existence of forstner bits with removable center pins but I would like to hear your opinion on the use of router bits first. Any advice will be much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
