Interesting, I was aware of Forstner bits, but not multi spur bits. I guess the trick would be to make sure that I didn't wedge the bit in the hole and then break my wrist with the drill.

No need to go nuclear. 5/8"? Man, that's one big chuck. Any 3/8 or 1/2 drill will do the trick. Put it on slow or low, it will cut its way through cleanly. Do get a new bit for that because this holes for the bench dog will be with you for long time. I think the bench dog I sent you is 3/4 dia. if you are using that?
Forstner bit will take until tomorrow. They are slow and dulls easily.
