I need to drill a 2" wide hole 7" deep in hard maple end grain. I used a 1/2" 3 flute 4" long spiral bit in a 2 1/2" bit extender and 3 holes. Now I'm getting a lot of vibration from what may be imbalance at high speed. I have tried Forstner bits, but they won't cut through end grain...

I was notified by UPS that my table extension parts for my Avid 4848 to make it a 4896 are being delivered today. These are the parts from 8020 but the remainder cannot be far behind. This also includes the frame for my new rotary axis. So, I'll be looking forward to this upgrade!

There is very few people that I would lone my tools to and they don't ask. My daughter called and wanted to use my drill, well it's hard to say no to your daughter. It's not her that wants to use it but her husband. :frown: They have used my pressure washer twice and both times I have had to fix...
