Will this cut a hole in a hockey puck?
Asked by Worthy October 31, 2018Hi Worthy, Forstner bits are recommended for wood. -Brady M.
will this cut threw anything in a timely manner like 30 sec???
Asked by brandi October 8, 2018Yes. With the center punch built into the bit, it keeps itself on-point without wandering like many bits do. It not only cuts fast, but it cuts clean without leaving a jagged hole.
Can i use this bit with a router???
Asked by King July 25, 2018You probably could get it to fit in the router collar, though it is fairly big in width and length and would be awkward on a router. This is made for a hand-held drill
