It was hard to find a 1/16" drill that could cut a full 1/4" drill, so that's a plus. Although the tool was sharp, it cut very cleanly. After about 45 minutes of cutting 1/4 inch cherries, the piece became very dull. With a little warning, it burned through the wood, didn't cut. I understand it's very small (negligible heat dissipation capacity) and only has one edge, but for the price I need it to last a little longer.
