What Customers Are Saying
The drill bit is described as sharp, durable, and effective for quickly and cleanly drilling holes through various types of wood, including hardwoods and old, rough-cut lumber. It was reported to outperform traditional spade bits. However, some users experienced issues with the bit pulling the drill forward too aggressively or causing excessive tear-out in certain materials. A small number of users also noted it did not perform well when drilling into live trees or encountered nails. Overall, the drill bit is well-suited for most common woodworking applications, but users should exercise caution and control when using it, especially in challenging materials.

Would RecommendI was only working with soft wood, but this bit put several 4" holed in the ends of my 2' x 4 "s quickly and very cleanly. Highly recommend for wood boring.

Not impressed
Would Not RecommendI purchased a 3 piece set of speedbore max bits recently , needing to bore 3/4 in. holes through 1 1/2 in clear pine for dowels. Using bit in my drill press, after about 12 holes the bit would no longer cut and get lodged into the hole. The bit looks as if I was drilling metal. Scored and burred from the cutting tips all the way up the flutes. Nothing but garbage. Price was right, but you get what you pay for
