    Drilling holes for power pole lines

    What type bit is everyone using to drill the holes for the new style PP hydraulic lines with grommets. I believe they are 3/4” holes. I asked Jeff at the Phoenix plant and he recommended a forstner bit. Ive never used one and there seems to be several types of forstner bits. Is this what everyone uses? Thanks fellas!
