Yes if you first glue contained by a piece of wood neatly to hold the spotlight tang of the spade bit, otherwise it will only cut a frayed hole. Let the glue set overnight otherwise the wood will freshly spin!

I tend to use a Forstner bit as a better alternative, but these are usually more expensive, unless you buy a short one that kitchen fitters use for the hinge holes.

Hope this helps, regard Anthony.

Answers:    Personally for 2 millimeters I would use a round folder.
