Maybe a dumb question but.... Ill ask anyway. Do thumb slug sizes correspond to the drill bit size used. ie 1 1/4 inch slug to 1 1/4 bit.

PJM300 -- Yes. They come in 1 1/8, 1 1/4 and 1 3/8 inch sizes and the drill bits used are the same sizes. -- JohnP

And to add to Phatdon's comments, it also helps to rough the outside of the slug and the inside of the hole with 100 grit sandpaper. -- JohnP
