Buy a 5/8" or 3/4" wood bit instead. The flat one, with a central spike point. Grind the spike off and grind a radius on each side, angled so it will cut. Use that for the Mec-Gar knobs.

I did this with a larger wood bit to cut reliefs in Spanish Mauser stocks, the ones with straight bolt handles. I heated the handles with a torch and bent them, then added the reliefs. Looked as good as a German Mauser K98.
