Drill bit for buttons !?

I think I used a 30mm Forstner bit for my buttons and it worked fine.  Fine a place with a bigger selection as suggested.

He, he, yeah those damned inches are really annoying.

I could find a 28mm spade bit, but of course that didn't fit. In the end I ordered a 1 1/8" forstner bit from MLCS. The forstner bits make nicer holes than spade bits. I guess shipping costs will be higher than the bit though.

While on the subject of hard to find bits, do you want to install t-molding? You'll need a 1/16" slot cutter for that. You better order that in the same shipment if you need one. Allthough you'll then also need a router that can take a 1/4"or 1/2" shank.

I tried homebase aswell, with no luck!...

Our local homebase is tiny though, so I though it was just them being rubbish.

B&Q sold them though :)

My buttons were from happ & they worked fine with a 28mm bit, a nice snug fit too.

I'm gonna have a good look around this weekend to find them  :)
