bit arrived in excellent condition but not the bit I was expecting. Unfortunately it does not match the description or the picture. The flutes were not 7/8 inches long, but 1 1/16 inches long, the overall length was correctly 2.5 inches. This made it quite difficult to use in a device for my setup. I decided to use it anyway and it cut really well, but due to the catastrophic failure of my vise the bit was ruined (not the bit's fault and not the manufacturer's). I ordered a second one and am hoping this one has a 7/8" keyway. BTW, the 1/4" bit had 7/8" keyways.
