Would RecommendExcellent drill bit. I used this bit for a dowel hole and the fit with the dowel was precise with a fit perfect for glueing.

What were they thinking????
Would Not RecommendFor hundreds of years, wood working tools have had spurs to cut across the grain of wood. Saws have ATB, Stanley Planes have replaceable spurs on most of their rabbet and panel raising planes. Without spurs to cut the grain, wood grain rips, tears, and splinters. Someone at Irwin has disregarded the hundreds of years of development and removed the spurs from the Speedbor drill bit.. BUT.WHY????? They converted a great tool into a worthless, dull piece of metal that beats it's way through woo...

I bought this to put a few holes in studs to run new PEX plumbing through my bathroom. Very easy to use, the point holds it still so no bouncing or hopping. Very sharp, took about 3 seconds to get through a 2x4

Hole-y experience
Would RecommendI used this bit to drill holes through the bottom of the cabinet above my stove for self-aligning screws to hold a microwave oven. The bit did the job and had no issues mounting the microwave.

Not sharp enough
Would Not RecommendIt went dull on the second hole and it didn’t make a perfect hole. It tore at the wood and it isn’t a perfect circle. I need to get better ones. It’s only a pine fence I’m using it on.
