Has anyone used the spiral forstner bits? I drill a 1 1/8 hole in my bowl blanks and use the small chuck to rough out the outside (with the tailstock support). I drill about a 1 1/2 deep hole and the forstner bits have to be pulled back several times to clear the chips. If I could buy just one I would try it, but have only seen them in sets of 7 bits and so far haven't justified that much just to try something different.
