If you are drilling a hole, that's all you can do with it.  If you start to put 
sideways pressure on a drill bit it will snap.

A router is about the best way to go.  You can get straight cutting bits that 
go down to about 1/8 and that's probably smaller than the screw you will use.  

Beyond that maybe one of those roto zip tools might have something that would 
work.  I don't own one yet so I can't say.

  Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Drilling slotted holes


  Hi,

  How do I go about drilling slotted holes? I am talking about those used to
  allow wood panels to expand and contract. It needs to be narrow enough that
  the screw head won't go through it but wide enough to let a piece slide back
  and forth a little.

  I don't think a router would work because of the smallness of the hole.

  Any ideas would be appreciated.

  Ralph
