Here's me fav, drill bit 3" turning at a heady 37rpm, me thinks if i ran the suds someware near the bit 10 more rpm could be achieved.

if you use a smaller drill first it'll be quicker

What snowy's not saying is the pilot drill was only 6mm

Hows it go, in a rush, make a pilot *just* big enough to get the tip of the big un into
