Posting in the correct forum would be a good start, I will just press this button..........

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.

Depends on what you want it for. A flat bit will chew through quickly, a Forstner bit will make a smooth precise hole slowly, and a hole saw will work. Tells us the job for the best guidance.

Is that in wood? A hole saw would probably be more precise depending on how deep you have to go. If it is a blind hole a Forstner type bit might be better. You need to spend a bit of time explaining what the job is.
