2. Gyokucho Razorsaw 9-1/2" Double Edge (Ryoba) for Hardwoods
Sentiment score: 2
Number of reviews: 1
Blade length of 9-1/2˝ and an overall length of 23˝Cross-cut: 22 tpi and Rip: 9 tpiBlade is thinner (.018˝)These Ryoba saws are designed for cutting hard or abrasive woodsOffers an exceedingly smooth, accurate cut
A disposable blade ryoba (double sided saw) can be had at almost any tool store, like Woodcraft, Lee Valley if you're Canadian or close to it, or even Home Depot. Amazon also carries good brands, and Woodcraft along with Japan Woodworker (a tool importer bought out by Woodcraft) have online stores.
Gyokucho is my favorite brand. More important than the brand is what you will be cutting; Japanese saws have progressive tpi: smaller and more numerous teeth at the base of the saw, where you start your cut, generally getting large near the end, especially on rip profiles. Even with that, they still have different sizes for different uses. 180mm, 240mm, 300mm are the most common sizes for ryobas. 150mm for thin stock and precise work, 300mm for breaking down rough stock or thick stock joinery like in timber framing, 240 as a general, jack-of-all-trades.
Secondly, as Americans have fallen in love with Japanese blades, Japanese manufacturers took notice and now produce saws with tooth profiles suited for American hardwoods- although even American softwoods are still sometimes harder and more prone to breaking teeth of Japanese softwood saws than Japanese softwoods.
If you do cut American hardwoods often, here is a general purpose ryoba: https://www.amazon.com/Gyokucho-Double-Ryoba-RazorSaw-Hardwoods/dp/B001Y4ZUJW/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=hardwood+ryoba&qid=1564430848&s=gateway&sr=8-2
It's a disposable blade, once you dull it you can replace it. Even so, I usually use a joint powertool-handtool process, and have that exact hardwood saw for three years now and it's still just as sharp.
It depends if you want to use a drill press this may work better,
Marble Drilling Bit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002L6M1U8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_15gTAbVHAZWGP
you probably should not use a router bit it your drill press. If you have a router you could pair the router bit with a guide bushing on your router ( make sure the sizes of the bushing and not are compatible)

And the you could make a template for the layout of cups you want.
Hope this helps
Edit: spelling
I know it might sound like splitting hairs, but if you don’t have bondhus or a ridiculously priced euro made Allen set, get some. Even brand new a lot of brands are a rounded head waiting to happen. Eklinds aren’t bad, but I pretty much quit having trouble with Allen’s since getting bondhus. They’re really not that expensive, but I almost never see them in brick and mortar stores.
