"I ordered this so I could press fit some bearings. Size was spot on. I did use it with the lathe. I noticed it started to cut one side just a bit before the other. For my set up it did not make a difference. But I did drill one free hand and did get a bit of walk even with a pilot hole for a start. Still made a 22 mm hole but with the walk and start chatter it was not a perfect flaw free hole. Still fit the bearing but not as tight as the ones with the lathe.Great price and quality. Cut like butter. I did use cut oil and drilled 78 holes in 1/2 inch mild steel. Last hole cut as good as the first."

The drill bit arrived quickly and packaged extremely well.The bit cuts quickly, leaving a very precise hole, perfectly sized per listed diameter.Fluting and machining is well done and we experienced no issues with excessive wear or improper manufacturing procedures from the factory.When drilling, I do use a large amount of cutting/cooling fluid and I never exceed the speed and pressure per the recommended user design specifications.All in all, terrific drill bit and I'm very pleased with the performance.farmer johnson

I’m sizing up holes in some 3/8 tabs, this bit is still cutting well after 7 holes. I’m running 410 rpm on the drill press and using oil to keep things lubricated. Definitely a good value.exnyer72
