Cork Handle Bore

Has anyone heard of a tool for boring out cork handles. It is a spade bit the has the sides sharpened and used on a drill in reverse and has an extention ..........

Does anyone know where I can buy one?

It allows you to start the bit on the far end and pull toward you ......... the shaft and extention make a great guide and pulling it back would seem to keep the bit straighter ..........

I saw one but I don't know where to get one ........

Richard,

I just received mine and used it on several cork tubes. They work a treat!! Yo ned to be careful though.. they are not the easiest tings to use. Make sure you follow the instructions regarding the tape bushings.
