This drill bit is precision milled and cuts cleaner than any drill bit you'll ever encounter. This is achieved by having the pin perfectly in the center of the drill, which will always create a centred hole. This super clean cut drill bit is extremely efficient in both cross cut as well as with the grain.
Apart from being the perfect timber drill bit, the knife-like flutes of the Star-M bits will also deliver you a clean and precise cut in more fibrous materials, such as bamboo.

STAR-M drill bits. &. Wooden nails.
The drill bits were a pleasure to use. They stayed very true while drilling my pen blanks which are mostly hardwood burls &the cut was very clean and no splintering on the end cut. The wooden nails served two functions joining & decorating some of pieces I make as a hobby.

AustraliaLives up to expectations
I used this to cut a clean circle for abalone inlay on a guitar fretboard. Perfect cut and flat bottomed. Excellent. My only issue with these is their short length. I note luthier supply shops are now stocking these. Obviously news is getting around. David Trembath
AustraliaSuper clean cut
Needed a super clean edge in red cedar and these bits provided it, centering is also very accurate. I have a good set of forstner bits too - but these Star-M bits definitely cut a cleaner hole. Agree with David T, drilling depth is limited due to their being short - but for what I needed to do, they are spot on.
Sharp edges on drilkl lhole
It worked as advertised. My issue with it however is its short length. In the end I had to supplement with a longer bit to get the holes I needed (or slotted guitar head tuners) Recommended for limited use or use a Forstner bit
