Review on πŸ”© High-Performance FTG Parabolic Replacement Countersink Tapered - Improve Precision and Efficiency! by Sean Powers

Revainrating 2 out of 5

There aren't many things to like about power tool parts and accessories

The first thing that struck me is that they aren't very accurate. All the ones I tested had at least some wobble, I tested them in a collet to eliminate any chuck wobble. This may not be a big deal for softwood, but the harder the material, the more lateral stresses come into play. This is most likely the result of the gluing and crimping process they use to secure the bit. The bits I usually buy are soldered on and I've never had an issue with wobble. I bought them due to lack of time, next time I will take more time to order the right bits. Surprisingly, for the price, they aren't that much more expensive. The second issue I had was the USA engraved on the barrel. I understand it's part of their name and the description clearly says they are made in China, but a person won't know that just by looking at them. Traditionally, every marking on the shank of machine tools indicates the country of origin. Not much, but still a little disingenuous.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
