Hi,
I'm looking to put up some floating shelves made from some offcuts of 40mm deep oak worktop. I intend to drill the 20mm diameter and nearly 200m deep holes across the grain with an electric hand drill. I gather that this is a tricky task to complete owing to the harness of the wood and the inaccuracy of a hand drill.
With that in mind, should I be looking at Faustner or Augur drill bits? Has anyone done this type of task before and are there any tips I should know?
