Leo Frilot WR Addict Offline When the going gets tough, get a bigger gouge!!! Posts: 2,848 Baton Rouge, LA Louisiana USA Gender:	Re: Hollowing Boxes Reply #5 - Sep 20^th, 2008 at 10:53am It works like a charm. Like Ron said, hold the chuck also cause sometimes you get a catch when using the larger forstener bits and it wants to spin the jacobs chuck out of the taper.
