This drill is made in China and the quality is very very poor. I used it to drill some very small holes in Douglas fir, a very soft wood. After less than a dozen holes, the drill could no longer cut without burning through the wood, and the teeth on the perimeter of the drill were very blunt and rounded. I'm a CMT fanatic and have been using their vinyl cutters for decades. However, this Forstner was terrible. I won't buy it and I can't recommend it either. I am a carpenter with over 40 years of experience.
