Anyone know of a good brand of auger bit but with a brad point rather than threaded? I am finding the threaded ones just pull to hard and can leave a mess on exit.
The Star-M "F-Type" may be worth a look. They're a bit on the short side though, only go up to 30mm and do still leave some (but not as much as most) blow out on exit if you plough straight through. If you have access it's easy enough to come in from both sides you can get some nice clean holes.
Edited to add - if you let me know what kind of wood you're aiming to use them in I can fire one of mine through and post some pics of the result.
