DEWALT DW1630 1-Inch Bit with 7/16-Inch Shank Selfeed Bit

 (2 customer reviews)

I was skeptical at first because I have always used Milwaukee self-feed drill bits on the job. These performed just as good, and were less expensive. I plan on buying more of these from now on.

I bought this bit recently and used it for a job I did as an Electrician. There are a couple of negative points I would like to point out. First, while drilling, the wood chips would not properly leave the bit and would get stuck in the groove and eventually friction would cause smoke to come out where you are drilling. Also, because the wood chips would get stuck on the bit I had to pull it out after only drilling through half the stud to clean it out to finish the hole and then had to clean it out after I drilled through completely so I could start the next stud. It made for a very time consuming endeavor and I was not a very happy customer. I will be purchasing the Milwaukee 1" Self-Feed bit and will test how well that compares to this.
