Mibro 589201 5-Piece Titanium Coated Countersinks Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought these Mibro countersinks specifically to countersink 5 holes in my new Kregg router table insert plate. Total accuracy was required to prevent trashing the insert plate and forking out an additional $70 for a 2nd new insert plate.
I could have paid Kregg forty bucks, sent them my router template, and they would have drilled and countersunk each hole for me. (plus a 2 week delay) Instead, I chose to use that money to buy tools I could keep, like these Mibro countersinks.
They did the job just fine but with more effort than I expected. It seemed as if they were not sharp enough and had difficulty countersinking in the phenolic material. I needed to pause drilling several times because the material and/or countersinks were actually smoking, even though I didn't force the tool.
Overall, my insert plate holes with countersinks were flawless. (used a drill press) I'm sure the Mibro countersinks would work fine in wood - never in steel. This is why I gave them the benefit of doubt with a grade of 4 stars.
One last thing ... it would be nice if Mibro had included a storage bag or case, like what's included with most drill bit sets (eg: Dewalt) instead of having these loose in my toolbox. I would have gladly paid extra.
Your mileage may vary,
Jeff

Friday, December 2, 2011 SE 180mm X 5mm, 6Pc Diamond Flat File Set, Different Grits Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Don't waste your time. I tried to use one of the finer files to sharpen a pair of scissors and all of the diamonds came off the file leaving it smooth. I can't imagine how they could work on ceramics, tile, or glass when they come apart on steel.

3-in-1 Hand Countersink Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Although a bit pricy, this simple little gadget gets used DAILY on all kind of materials from wood to PVC to Aluminum and Plexiglass. I had an old one, which I brought from Germany many years ago. It has ONE FIXED head only. It's a bit "dull" by now, but I still use it the Garden Shed. Glad I finally found this replacement! Good, practical tool!
P.K.H.

DEWALT DWD110K 7.0 Amp 3/8-Inch VSR Pistol Grip Drill Kit with Keyless Chuck Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have only started using this drill, but so far no problems, and the keyless chuck has worked great.
I'm writing this review because I purchased and returned four drills before settling on this one, and I thought others might benefit from my recent comparison shopping.The Craftsman 5 amp basic level T-handle 3/8" drill is loud, like an F-16 taking off, and only goes to 1500 rpm.(Craftsman makes a red professional model with more power and higher speed, but I did not even try it because it seemed heavy and awkward.) The Ryobi D41 T-handle felt great in my hand but has less power (4.5 amps) and only 1600 rpm, and it is still noisier than the DeWalt, with a higher-pitched scream.Hitachi makes a nice 6 amp drill with speeds to 2500, the D 10VH, and it has a number of nice features, but it has the same high-pitched scream only maybe worse.It also lacks the bubble levels that I have come to appreciate.The Rigid Professional 3/8" VSR has similar features to the DeWalt and uses the same Jacobs keyless chuck, but it felt a little more off-balance in my hand and had that same jet-airplane whine.The DeWalt is considerably quieter, even though the Rigid is only 6.5 amps compared to 7 amps for the DeWalt.The sound of the DeWalt is more like a table saw or cutoff starting up than it is like the high-pitched grinding noise of a hand-held circular saw.
All this emphasis on noise level is because my dad is already hard of hearing, but it affects my comfort and enjoyment of the drill, too.Despite the range of power levels and max speeds, the drills all weighed between 3.2 and 3.6 pounds on my scale, with the Ryobi and Hitachi at the lower end and the Rigid and DeWalt at the upper end.
For reviewers complaining about the DWD110k or its predecessor not having the finesse to stop driving drywall screws just below the surface like their cordless drill/driver does: if you want a corded drill to do that, get one with a clutch, specifically made for driving screws as well as drilling.In my experience, corded drills, especially those with top speeds over 1500 rpm (which you want for various drill applications) make poor drivers and especially poor drywall screw installers.So far the DeWalt DWD110K seems to have as good a control at low speeds as the best of the rest, and maybe better control than the Craftsman and the Rigid.
And if the case matters to you:The DeWalt case, while roomy enough for the drill and cord and bits, is a little more compact than most drill cases.It also has a metal latch that won't fatigue and break off like plastic latches on other cases often do, and a piano hinge all along one side (albeit plastic molded as part of the case with a steel rod all the way through).So the DeWalt got the nod for best case among those I tried.(The Rigid only comes with a nylon bag.)

Wednesday, November 30, 2011 Grizzly C1768Z Carbide Tipped Rosette Cutter, 1/2" Shank, 2-1/8" Dia. Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We are using this cutter in our cnc router to cut our own rosettes . The key to using this cutter is speed. The slower you set the feed the smoother the rosette. Can be used for all wood species from cherry to maple , e.t.c.. I did try this in our drill press and wasnt happy with the quality , but I blame it on my old junk drill press . I feel with a quality drill press you should be able to obtain good results.
