Long thin wood drill bits

[The Bear]

Do they exist?
Need 5 or 6mm diameter and as long as possible. Twist or brad point, not fussy. Anyone got a source for longer than normal?

Cheers

Would an auger bit in those sizes not be ok?

Loads on Amazon, just look for long series drill bits.

Funny seeing your post, I needed extra long 2mm drills for pilot holes with scroll saw projects, found some extra long toolzone bits at a local indoor market just yesterday

8 for £1.50 can't be bad

How long do you need? I have 300mm drill bits in certain sizes, they are readily available.

You don't say what you want them for, but I have a set of these: https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p35978 ... IkQAvD_BwE 600mm long in 8, 12, 16 & 24mm, I used the 12mm drill from the first floor into the loft through a joist for 10mm studding to hang a sliding door track.

Spade bits are cheap and available in long lengths. You can file them down if needs be.

how do you get a 1/4" shank on a 6mm spade bit?

Welding.

Same way you get a 1/4" shank on a 6mm router cutter?

I assume the OP is looking for at least a degree of accuracy, so whether a spade would work is debatable.

Yes they can wander a bit. It all depends on what you want to do with the hole. But they are fast, cheap and easy to sharpen.
