The bit size seems to be 1 3/16 inch or 30 mm. Shops don’t seem to sell anything that specialized I was wondering if anyone has found a decent place to order a spade bit like this online.
Or is there another way you are cutting your holes in lexan/plexi for sanwa buttons that I don’t know about? I’ve been using spade bits for it for Happ boxes I’ve made which is a very standard bit size and it works well but the holes for 1 1/8 or 1 1/4 are too small and too big respectively.
Thanks for the info guys. FunkyP 1 1/4 is too big of a hole. I assume you meant 1 1/8 and then sand it out. That’s a way to do it but I’m working on my 8th stick 4th Dual stick and I need a more permanent solution then sanding that many holes each time. I make a lot of boxes.
Forstners will give you much cleaner holes than spade bits. They generate a lot of torque though, so make sure whatever you’re drilling is clamped down good.
I usually go to woodcraft. Check the site if you have one in your area. If you go to the website you can order 30mm and 24mm forstner bits at woodcraft.com
