Would Not Recommendthis chamfered design is not working, the bit dulled within 25 holes in oak, did not like the cut from the beginning, felt more like it was beating the wood rather than cutting, imo this new design is worthless/junk, purchased a set and intend on throwing them in the trash, maybe others will have better performance than I. need to go back to the original design.

served its purpose!
I used this to bore a 3” deep hole into the top of an exterior door for a recessed alarm sensor. Steel doors usually have a little wood trim around the edges to sandwich in the insulation which is a rigid foam and this bit handled that ok. An auger bit might have cleaned it out better but this was fine. Keep that in mind if youre drilling down into a material without going all the way through and without being able to turn it over. Did well in the wood door frame for the magnet part of the senso...
