I purchased this forester drill bit for a woodworking project and it performed exactly as I had hoped. It drill smooth, clean holes with very little tear-out. The bit felt sturdy and started cleanly without wandering. Good quality for the price.

Poor design

Would Not Recommend

The center post was way too long so much so to get the depth it would have gone through door. What were they thinking. I had to grind down the post and lose its cutting edges.
