    Which coring drill ?

    Those of you who've tried most of today's coring drills, is there a design that sticks out....that works best, in your opinion?
    These will be used primarily for hollowing bowls and vases on the tailstock of my Grizzly G0766.

    Which side is that? I can never remember and you never update your location.

    Forstner bits on chuck on the tailstock work fine. That’s what I use for my pepper mills and vases.

    I prefer to use twist drills. Forestner bits have to be removed frequently or the bit clogs. They do drill larger holes but it's faster for me to hollow with my bowl gouge so I just drill a 1" diameter hole. YOu can do it in one pass with a twist drill. In fact on softer woods I just push the whole tailstock forward and then pull it back instead of using the screw thread quill feed.
