[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 223219, member: 1417"] The spade bit will make a hash out of the project. Once the pilot goes through the metal there's nothing to keep the bit centered, the bit begins to wobble and the hole will be a mess. The best is to use a hole saw - they come in sizes up to about 4". You can buy sets or individual saws. If you have to use the spade bit, you should clamp a block of wood behind the hole. That way the point of the bit will remain centered in the wood block as the spade cuts the hole. [/QUOTE]
