Milwaukee self feed wood bits

[markfxy]

just bought a kit of 7 bits, these are excellent wood bits but when I use the larger sizes my drill cant cope and the clutch just slips even my Makita HR4500 clutch slips anyone suggest a suitable drill for these wood bits?

Are they auger bits?

 

[markfxy]

No this is what they look like

Jeez, look menacing, I have this angle drill www.HSSTOOLSHOP.co.uk - Makita DA4000LR chews through wood with bits like this. Expensive though.

There forstner bits. The type you would use on kitchen unit hinges. Rapid at drilling wood. Maybe a mwaukee drill will do the job

Use these at a SLOW speed and on the 1st torque setting on your drill. Let the bits do the work. If you force them or use them too high a speed and torque setting, then they will jam.

I use mine for cabinet hinges.

Ah thatll be the problem then. Don't go spending £280 on a angle drill!! Hahaha

they're not for cabinet hinges these would go through the cabinet in no time you wouldn't just have a hole for the hinge you'd have a bleeding great hole through the cabinet they're designed to bore large holes through wood.

I'd say you want to be using a drill without a clutch for bits like this.

no one drill can cope with all the jobs we do due to the need fore speed when coring bricks etc and the slow but steady when boring through victorian joists, probably why I have so many sds failures in the shed

 

[brasso1981]

They are what you use for cabinet hinges. Believe me. You only go through the other side if your trigger happy. Standard spade or auger bits have longer spikes on the end, so you cant cut a shallow hole

But also excellent for drilling joists etc
