I thin the webs of my large bits so they start and feed easily but you cant tell somebody who doesn"t know how to thin the webs that they should do that can you? A pilot bit is the next best choice (which is not a step drill in my nomenclature) In the shop we now run spades that pilot in a 1" Hole for anything 1-3" and anything over 3" pilots on a 2" hole. Really nice system but beyond the average guys pocketbook or needs and certainly not for hand held equipment.
