G'day Roger - Pretty sure that Carba Tec will have one that size. I have one of their sets and they go up to 3".

Phone 9427 8444 and ask them.

Gooday Roger.

How many holes do you have to drill?

I have a reason for asking. Forstners get blunt rapidly (least they do in my place http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/smile.gif).

We have all ours Carbide tipped and we get about 1500 holes in wet hardwood and 3/4" ply.

Hey thanks for the wonderful response guys. I ended up getting one of the kits Neil mentioned, Duh... To answer your question , 350 holes in veneered MDF.. Hehehaha, it's blunt!!!! Client landed me a job which they wanted done "Yesterday", ran around like a blue ***ed one, instant success that Forstner was.
