Hey Carlie, can you elaborate a little on the NOT. Is it because of the
pine pitch?

Both DeWalt and Irwin, among others, make 2" (and smaller and larger) self feed
bits that will do this work easily. They have a cone-like spur in the center
and fairly large teeth around the outside rim, but otherwise resemble Forstner
bits--I suggest very strongly that you do NOT consider a Forstner bit for your
particular needs, though.

And, if you have long beard keep it out of the chuck while the drill is
running.

Try a local plumbing supply for "self feeding" bits. They are NOT cheap, and
you better have a good drill, AND keep a good grip on it.

Does it have to be exactly 2" ? 2 1/8" spur bits are used for
drilling door locks. They can go $60.00 at some places. Maybe
cheaper on-line, but probably not, especially including shipping.
Don't know these folks at all, but here's a link:

and here's a 2" self-feed with replaceable feed screws

Just Google on "2 inch auger" or "2" auger" etc.

Lee Valley has some sawtooth bits that go up to 4". Try this link:
