What Bit for Hing Holes on Cupboards

[Screwed]

Hi,

As above really, got a new kitchen but the integrated doors don't have pre-drilled holes. What should I buy for this job?

Thanks!!!

Thanks. If using this in an ordinary drill do you need an adaptor as the bit shaft is rounded??

Thanks again!

you need to think about that statement screwed

what shape are your drill bits

i am assuming your drilsl do'nt have chucks !!!!

chucks are desighned to grip round 3 sided or 6 sided shafts between 1 and 13mm dependant on chuck

Yes I thought that as I typed!!! That's what I mean, the bit in the link has neither 3 or 6 sides or am I being stupid?

Thanks!

no i should have put a comma as in round' 3 or 6 sides

as in all 3 shapes will work happily including just plane smooth round shaft
