Works well but takes a little bit of effort
Would RecommendI bought this to use for a rail bolt kit. It works well but takes a little bit of effort to get going even in poplar.

Cuts like butter!
Would RecommendI used this 1” Forstner Drill Bit to put 1” magnets on the back of a beer bottle opener. I’ve used it for several projects and will purchase it again if it begins to dull. So far so good!
