It is VERY difficult to get a clean cut. You almost need a drill press to get the job done. Trying to make a sink in honey onyx. Luckily I started a hole in the back of the bowl and the sink mounting ring covered the huge area it created. Not recommended for the weekend warrior or casual handyman. I tried starting the hole at an angle, it was a mess and I got a 10 on the difficulty. Not recommended, especially for the price. Hire an expert to find out how much this drill costs and ESPECIALLY if you want a clean cut. Much luck.
