A question for woodworkers.

Which type/style of drill bit are good for drilling nice clean holes?

Wanting to make stems and small bowls. Using a mid priced spade bit at the moment but the results aren't the cleanest, the bit is brand new too.


Cheers

I’m not a pro woodworker or anything, but for smaller holes, up to 1/2 in., I’ve used a brad point bit with success. They have a center point and sharp cutting spurs designed to drill clean holes.
