Exactly what I needed. It was a custom size ball that I needed to cut a custom sized hole. Hardware stores near me don't do that. After cutting the hole I needed it perfect.
This bit barely cut through mahogany with my drill press when it was brand new. I'll try to sharpen it. I hope this helps, but I bought this for a specific need and may never need to use it again. Don't buy cheap tools. when will i study
After reading some negative reviews I hesitated but ordered this bit anyway as I had bought several Yonico bits and was very happy with their performance. Quality. I drilled several 1 7/8" holes in cherry and oak and all holes had clear sides and flat bottoms. Good drill bit at a good price.
