I am trying to make 7.5" Danny Plugs, I am having problems trying to drill the thru wire hole with the normal 1/8"bits I have from my drill press and hand drills. What do people do to drill thru holes in longer plugs like Needles, Dannies, Pencils etc?
Where do you get the bits?

I got a 1/8" brad point drill bit, 9" long (I think) from these guys. Use a 4" bit on my lathe to start the hole on each end of the blank and then I use this long bit to finish off the through wire hole.

Oops, looks like Moses is quicker than I. Sorry for the extra post.

Home depot is carrying 12" bits in 1/8 and 3/16

Placed an order from bitsnbores, thanks.
Really think the brad point is the way to go, as it draws the bit into the wood

brad points don't work off line as much once u get em goin right.8 " is a good size to have for the larger stuff but i do most of my work with a 6" bit make shure u get em flutted they clear the material better an run cooler.get extra cause they break.

Not sure if any of you could use these but I just read this thread then got this info from Jamestown Distributors in an e-mail 2 minutes later: http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/
