I used to have a special drill bit that I used with my old Trend 1/4 inch router. It included a carbide counterbore at he top and a brad point tip at the base. If I remember rightly there was the merest hint of a spiral along its length and it was of a size to accept a No 8 screw. It was used mainly on blockboard -( my goodness that's a bit of a 'blast from the past'!)
The point is, I could do with one for the job I'm presently working on, but I can't find them listed anywhere, now. Trend used to sell them so I presume they were a Titman product. The nearest equivalent I can find is one for drilling out for dowels, that Titman make but these are rated for only 6000 revs. So has it been decided that this is a far too risky operation, or does something still exist out there, somewhere?
