Has anyone heard of or tried using Forstner bits for swich holes, etc in 
chassis construction? I had read an article somewhere about using them on 
aluminum chassis but didn't mention something like 20 ga. mild steel. I wonder 
how it would work in either, especiall using bits with a TIN coating? I could 
see how they wouldnt really need a starting hole, maybe just a spot from a 
center dril to make a big hole like Trepanning. What I use now is either cone 
bits, or chassis punches driven with an electric impact wrench. The larger cone 
bits require a starter hole like 1/8" and of course the punches have to have a 
hole to match the bolt. Any comments on these Forstner bits would be 
appreciated.

Best,

Will
