Normally Irwin has good tools, bits, blades.
Would Not RecommendNormally Irwin has good tools, bits, blades. Not so for this bit. The metal is soft. Cutting went from good to bad in four oak dowel holes. That's it.

Excellent Product
Would RecommendThe 3/8 Forster bit that I purchased is doing a wonderful job of boring a 3/8 hole in oak treads. After the hole with screw installed, I place a wood dowel to hide the screw.
