Makes perfect holes, perfect score, made in the USA. Pictured is a piece of maple that I drilled for the "crib" or "connector" studs. I drilled holes in the wood first, then taped the steps and then ran the drill REVERSE so the tape wouldn't break. The band doesn't have much shoulder and I've noticed that it twitches when rotated forward/clockwise. The holes came out so clean it looks like factory work, not something I made in my kitchen.
