Great, except the springs
3 Stars
Great, except the springs
Construction seems solid, however after just 30 holes the shaft stopped retracting fully leaving the end of the bit sticking out, negating the purpose of the centering cone. I unscrewed the one I was using (5/64) and one I haven't touched yet (7/64) and you can see how beat up the spring has gotten just from 30 holes, in poplar, a very soft wood. The one on the unused is perfectly cylindrical, but the used one is all bent up and no longer fully extends.
