Possibly Imperial/Metric conversion ? What sort of timber are you
working in? Some will tear and drag rather than cut cleanly, which
can lead to slight unexpected hole size variations.
Buy proper tools not cheap crap!
You've mentioned problems from overheated bits before. Not
technique, is it?
Oh, well. Cast aluminium bits....

its redwood grade, so I guess maybe pine.
I know :( I need a solution for this job though, I now have a lot of
holes to fill. Most of the toolstation stuff I've had has been ok, but
a couple of items have been right junk. I'm loath to hand chisel out
plugs individually, it'd take me all day twice over. Its not like I
only have a few holes here :)
I dont think I've had overheated bit problems, at least not till this
one, but folk have suggested overheating before. What speed should I
be running a 13mm plug cutter at?
Mmm, it looks very like brass to me, though they swear its titanium
coated, but whatever it is its not much use. From the angles on it its
hard to see how it would do a lot.
Not as bad as their drill-pilot-hole-clearance-hole-countersink-in-one
bits though.
Cheers, NT
