| Quick answer - size for holes |
| (1/1) |
| cholin:
I realize you should use 1-1/8 bit, but instead of buying one, can I use 1-1/4? its like 1/8 inch difference, shouldnt cause any problems...does anyone know? |
| SirPeale:
Yes, it's too big. Don't do it. |
| IMMark:
I agree...don't do it You can get a 1 1/8" spade bit, very inexpensive, or a entire set for $5. When you use them, drill from both sides to prevent blowout. Drill from front until, the point breaks through, then finish from the back side. A hole saw gives a better cut, and is more expensive. But if you use a spade from both sides, results are more than addequate. :) |
