Drill bit set for wooden dowels

I can't find a good set of drill bits for the making of wooden dowels (loosen neck screw holes repair, etc) the set should be composed by two bits, ine to create the plug, the other to drill a hole in which the dowel snugly fits.

Any internet shop in USA?

Thanks
Fabio

I just buy the wooden dowels and a drill bit to match. Much easier, faster, and no wood to waste or mess to clean up.

I am looking for the same bits.

Ed, the reason to use those instead of dowels is if you have to plug a hole, you can make a dowel so that the grain of the dowel is the same direction as the grain of the piece you are plugging. You don't have to deal with matching wood tones.

I think Stewart McDonald carries them. Hope this helps.
