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.
