Looking to borrow or rent a 2 7/8 forstner bit along the Northern I-25/US-85 corridor.

I want to turn this.

Into this.

I would rather cut the hole with a forstner bit than a small bit and jig saw if I can. I figure it will be much easier to take them in and out over time with a neater hole. I have a drill press but don't want to invest in the forstner for this one project. If someone has the bit to loan or rent out I would be grateful. I could also just bring my board and cut the holes there if someone was willing.


Thanks, driver

Hole saws are cheap.

Oh, and just for an alternative idea, you could use a thicker piece of lumber and use the forstner bit and only bore half through. In other words maybe a 2x6 and then just bore half way through and make little pockets for the heads to sit in.

I have a very nice hole saw bit if you want to buy the correct saw.
