Hi
An old woodturning tutor showed me that it's fine to drill a 50mm hole using a forstner bit for the chuck jaws to get a bowl started. Now I've got a big pillar drill I'm keen to give it a go but my memory is rubbish and I can't find anything online about it. Before I go and buy a decent 50mm bit, I'd be keen to hear if anyone has got any experience doing it this way?
Thanks
