Does the job. deal with it properly. The bit is delivered in a practical machine packaging. I prefer to keep Forstner's in the original packaging to avoid damage. Excellent value for money and quality. Some commenters don't seem to understand the purpose and workings of the Forstner bit. This is a low speed drill that will require multiple dip and chill cycles depending on the type and thickness of the wood. MDF overheats slightly faster than natural wood. If the sharp edge becomes dark and bluish, the hardness of the drill edge will be affected due to operator error, causing the drill to overheat due to friction, heat up, and the working edge will glow. You will never see wood swirls from a Forstner bit with no twist. Forstner's aim is sharp, precise rim holes.
