That may well be one of the few in captivity that is worth owning. The rest of them are carp, but the Bosch is made in Germany (or used to be) and will probably be just what I need!

FWIW I just got a thick bit of hardwood and drilled a guide hole in it on the drill press.
Way back when I had a job drilling mount holes in steel roof trusses. Portable drill press with a magnetic base. Course would ain't ferrous

Thanks Ern. On my current bench I did just as you suggest, however this bench is three times the thickness so I want to get them spot on.

I think Rob Lee has a space shuttle, the bits arrived this morning, four days from Canada!
These are very nicely machined with a cam-lock fit in the inner sleeve, beautifully concentric when locked. Glad I spent the extra, this will be perfect for doing the dog-holes in my bench.
