Carpenter to drill into rock maple cabinets?

You could try Matchless Construction, 917-319-4691, Pete Jukoff. His firm is working on a brownstone in Brooklyn and he started out as a carpenter. I would think he has the tools since he builds custom cabinets and has been in the business for over 35 years. However, since you're requiring insurance, this drives up the cost.

You might want to try a fresh set of brad point drill bits before spending orders of magnitude more money on a carpenter.

You could even buy a new drill (if your current one isn't up to snuff, but try the new bits first) and still come out way ahead.

You've got the wrong drill. A hammer drill will solve your problem and they're cheap.

Hammer drill sounds like bad news for furniture/cabinets.
