Tim, I use something similar to the one in your post of Jan. 21, although it is made by New England twist drill. It bores a really nice clean hole, even through really old knots. The one I got is 1 1/4, that was the largest shorty they had in stock. The biggest long bit, about 16" was either 1.5 or 2 inch. I'm still trying to find a website for New England Twist Drill. I really like their products.
