Hello
I want to drill a 20mm L / 6mm W / 4 mm D groove at the edge of a pine shelf board which will take a barrel shelf pin. I don't have a router or any other fancy tools. However, I've read that it's possible to do this by drilling at the start of the groove (the end away furthest from the edge of the shelf) and then slowly bringing the drill bit to a horizontal position until it's lying flat on the board and biting out a groove.
My question: which type of drill bit would best achieve this do you think?
