Nice Bit
Would RecommendThis was a good bit. I bought it to bore out holes in a header board so I could plug them and then remount a sliding barn door. The bit was smooth and made a much cleaner hole then a traditional paddle bit does. I would definitely recommend this bit. The only nock I had against it is that it could get a little squirrelly on you if your not paying attention but that's how it is with a lot of things. also not I was using this bit on softwood and have not used it enough times to comment on dur...

Bore not boring
Would RecommendThis thing will bite through wood like it's its new job. It'll tear a hole like it's paper, until you hit an old screw or nail and burns out. Then you having have a boring bit, cause it won't don't much after that.

Dentist likes his drill,
Would RecommendIn my office I use the finest carbide and diamond drills in my high speed handpieces for painless dental care. In my work shop, I demand the same quality and performance. That’s why I choose Irwin Products and my 5/8- inch drill bit performs with excellence. Its tri flutes are super sharp and balanced for a clean, vibration free result...and NO! I don’t use workshop drill bits in my dental practice!

Great bit for boring larger holes
Would RecommendThis bit works well and is aggressive so you must control it well if you are using it to drill a defined depth as my project required. It was just the but I needed to drill sockets for spindle top balusters.
