I realize this thread is a bit old, but I have the same question: as Michael stated above, if the Festool 491072 produces a larger hole (.2mm) than the standard MFT holes, is there an undersized 20mm bit that produces the same MFT-sized holes? In particular, any crafter worth their salt should know about Forstner bits. Not only that, but those same crafters should know how to use a Forstner bit in both a hand drill and a drill press.

Forstner bits are designed for drilling holes in woodworking or construction applications. The Forstner bit is designed specifically to provide deep, accurate holes with little tear out. Most Forstner bits use a cutting lip on the shank that prevents damage to the workpiece and allow the bit to cut cleanly when fully engaged. Can Forstner bits be used in any drills? Continue pressing in carefully with the trigger engaged until you reach the desired bore depth. Then, you can release the trigger and carefully slide the Forstner bit’s head out of the hole as it slows down to a stop. At this point, your hole is effectively finished. This will prevent blowouts, especially if you intend to bore all the way to the other end of your workpiece. Step 2: Attach Your Bit and Mark the CenterOnce that is done, you’ll want to mark (with chalk or a pencil) the center of the circle you wish to bore in your target surface. This will allow you to align your hole more reliably once you begin to cut into that structure’s surface. If you intend to press all the way through and create a full hole, you can continue from this point. Before doing so, be sure to clean out any excessive sawdust to prevent extra heat build-up over your Forstner bit’s blade. How to Use a Forstner Bit with a Hand Drill

The 12.7mm (1/2") bit has a 6.35mm (1/4") shank With your intended center point marked, you should now align the center of your hand drill’s Forstner bit with the center of that mark.
