I figured I would burn this up on this project but it's still good. slow and easy is proven here. I'm quite impressed with how well these cut.

Life is what you make of it. So, why not make a working machine to make it easier.

Looks great! I have fair sized set but only used them in wood so far.

run 'em slow and keep 'em lubed and they last a while..most of mine gets done in a slow gear drive drill press,locked in low..you have to modify pressure when using them and clear them out occasionally as they get jammed up with chips.Ill have to check out the HF saws..the Starrett and Lenox ones are pretty expensive but do last.
