Candle hole set
Would RecommendBought this and a similalr 7/8 in bit to use in combination for making candle holes in turned candle sticks. You use a grinding wheel to equally taper the 15/16 bit to about 3/4 inch cutting head. To make the holei, frst drill a 7/8 hole about 1/2 deep, then follow with the tapered 15/16 to make the hole 3/4 - 7/8 in deep. Works as a set.

Seemingly harmless, this tool is dangerous.
Would Not RecommendThe screw on the end is FAR too active. It grabs the wood out of the vice if the stock isn't tghtended and twirls it. I still have a mark where the stock hit me. Very poor engineering. Buy an Irwin instead. You'll have much better control.
