              I used this bit to cut holes into my Home Depot 5gal buckets for an aquaponic system that I am setting up. It cut though the material like a hot knife through butter, and I could not be happier with the results.

              Became Dull Extremely Fast
              I used 2 of these brand new bits to try and cut through 3/4" (1/2"+1/4") of old drywal a 12"x12" square holel. I set my Dremel to 15k RPM. One bit snapped off after the first 12" and the other bit it are the bit down to half its thickness. There were no nails or anything I was hitting either.
