Ditto.

I have used both a 1 3/8 and a 35mm. The 1 3/8 works and if you only have a few to install and have that size forstner bit, then I would just use it. But if you have a bunch to install or have to buy a bit, I would buy the 35mm. The hinges are really made for a 35mm hole.

+1 on this. It's a bit worth having.

+1. I got the Freud carbide tipped bit and it makes very clean holes. Assuming you're not building an entire kitchen :gar-Bi, you're more than welcome to borrow it.
