mftha,

Whenever I need to plunge a straight bit,for example in a dado that stops short of both ends of the workpiece. I drill a starter hole with a spade or forstner bit. The bit does not need to be the same diameter as the router bit, but large enough to span the gap between the 2 pieces of carbide. Hope this helps.
