Works well best in my review

I tried a different bit earlier that didn't work for me. This one is working. I have an old drill press that's not all that powerful even on the slowest setting. I'm working through some hardwood right now. The progress is slow, but considering how much wood it's cutting through, it's doable. It definitely takes a new level of patience compared to a smaller drill bit that tears through stuff. I think the fact that it has 2 teeth on the outside instead of a whole bunch helps because there is less friction. It does still heat up quickly, so I have to drill a bit and wait a bit. So again, lots of patience required.

Pros

After using these i will not go back to HSS forstner bits. They work great.

Cons

The bit may not be suitable for drilling angled or curved holes
