Found this on the web.

Might be a little small - buy could be easily modified to a doublewide.

I'd recommend using a 40mm drill instead of a 1-1/2", especially if you use NextGen's or some of the larger import chips.

I got as far as 'Mortise' and was lost.

What kind of chuck do you need to use for a 40mm drill bit?

I think a Forstner bit is what you had i mind.

Yes, a Forstner. I don't know if they make a 40mm hole saw? To date, I haven't seen one.

The shanks on the Forstner's depend on who makes them. The cheap-o import I have is 10mm (.393"), and the carbide I have is 1/2" with a flat for shank extenders. I'd suggest using a good-old-fashioned keyed chuck. I don't know how well a keyless chuck would hold this drill with the stresses that are on it. I've even managed to spin this drill in a keyed chuck.

Man, I need some tools...and a garage to put them in...and a house for the garage...

*sigh*

Don't we all need tools?

I mean even if you have a garage full of tools, there is always room for a few more.

Kinda the same as chips i would imagine.

If you have tools - you can always build more storage for your chips. Then you have room for more tools. Then you need more chips so you can use the tools,

Heh...You can never have too many tools!

Admittedly, joining this forum opened up a new round of tool buying for me. I think it started with packemup's thread on wooden chip trays. That did it....

So- it all started with a 40mm Forstner bit. Now I want to build my own chip trays, a chip chest, custom card cases for my DalNegro / Modiano cards, and a poker table. But before any of those projects are even started, I'll probably have a few more to add to the list.
(Not to mention a certain test fixture I need to finish first.
