This drill worked great. I hung about six six panel oak doors. I had to put finger pulls in it and it opened the door very easily and effectively. I started slow and then when I was sure I was in the middle I turned it up and it worked great.
I love this bit. Chew through a solid core MDF door like peeling an apple. , then put it down and watch how it works.I'm a woman so I don't have the arm strength that most men have so it was easy for me to drill a hole for a doorknob.
I had to add finger grips to two sliding doors. I was very nervous about drilling my doors as I would have to drill them while they are hanging in place. After testing the drill on a few pieces of wood, it became apparent that holding the drill in place without support would be too difficult. So I made a bracket out of 3/4" plywood, attached the bracket to the door and drilled the holes with no problem. The holes were very smooth and the finger pulls went in very easily with no problems.
