Hard to Center
Would Not RecommendEven with the starter tip this drillbit was difficult to keep still and isolated quite a bit before grabbing hold and boring out the hole that I needed.

Forstner Drill Bit
Would RecommendI used the Forstner Drill Bit to recess two dummy door knob spindles so the rosettes would be flush with the door surface. The quality of this drill bit is very good and I would certainly purchase this brand again and I appreciate the size selection available at Lowe’s.
