High speed and a very sharp bit of some sort that leaves a clean cut. I have the burr pictured above, and my drill press has a pretty high speed. I'll test it and give you my take on it's performance. ........... Jerry (in Tucson)Problem is that the hole is 1/2" across. Can't cram a larger sanding pad into the hole without damaging the edge of the hole. Need a smaller solution. Chuck
These have potential. What is your source for these? ChuckHave you tried something like this?? Your drill press would have to be precise, or the hole might get out of round if there is any kind of wobble. ............. Jerry (in Tucson)View attachment 196123View attachment 196123
What is your source for this? ChuckOr this. Problem with this one is you are limited on the shank sizes, but if you're doing 1/2" holes, that shank is available. .........Jerry (in Tucson)

This project for me is for the same game! Holes are nearly as deep as wide, so about 3/8". ChuckOn another note how deep are you making the holes. I need to make a couple gameboards for Jokers & Marbles
@Tony I think that would work - gonna remember that
The second link has the closest thing I'm seeking. Thanks! Chuck
I did my test with the 1/2" burr I have. Unless you have a pilot hole already drilled, this will burn as you get deeper. The cut seems to be good, but the waste builds up in the goove and causes it to burn. This one is NFG........... Jerry (in Tucson)Have you tried something like this??

Chuck, that's an end mill. MSC, Grainger or any machine shop supplier near you should have them.....the following link is for one at MSC. https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/09137795 ............... Jerry (in Tucson)What is your source for this? Chuck
Nothing yet. I did bookmark the Web site for the abrasive balls. I really need to follow up on this. Thanks for pinging me. Chuck
That looks like precisely what I need! Thank you so much!!! I ordered them!!! ChuckJust tried it. It drags you there on its own.
What'd find out?NopeMy buddy did furniture refinishing for several years and showed me all kinds of neat sanding stuff. If it is legal to use neat and sanding in the same sentence...not sure. Checking the rules.
