Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Everything uses a small allen wrench which is included. Make sure all set screws are tightened well. Secure the work piece to the worktable. Wear good eye protection.

It adjusts and * well and cuts a very smooth hole. I've used it in softwood and baltic birch plywood. Great for creating exact holes for 4 in dust collection.

The radius gauge is in 1/16” divisions so get out your calculator for. Unlike a closely price competitor this works great and works on my ryobi drill press.

Cons

Both sharpened sides are on the opposite side from the direction of the cut. If it proved to be a case of the blade dulling after only 3/4, then the blade is not very good. The machine table was locked in position and maximum quill extension was 1-1/2... Read More

The drill bit runs about 20-25 thousandths out of round. There was quite a bit of wobble as well.

Not a quality product whatsoever. Cheap chinese junk in my opinion. I hope others have better luck and maybe i got a dud.

Quality

This is a really good tool for the right job but be careful with it

Now with the press running slower i thought everything should be well

I started with the 34 mdf that was veneered with african mahagony

Packaging/appearance

And it punched an inchsized hole through the paneling

Competitiveness

I used it to cut circles in a 2x8 board for a project

Great price on a very useful wellmade product

Even came with a 2nd cutter incase 1st one gets dull
