Hello All,
I need to drill a series of tapered holes through some 3/4" (19mm) pine , and I think a tapered spade bit would work perfectly after I grind a taper on each side. The larger diameter will be 1-3/4" (45 mm) and the small diameter will be 1-3/8" (35 mm). I could grind the taper, then grind the angled side with a bevel of sorts yielding a cutting edge. Anyone know where I can find/buy a spade but that's 1-3/4" - 2" wide? Anyone ever seen such a bit?
Thanks in advance for your help.
P. S. I'm usually over in the "All things spinny" area looking and admiring.
