After watching their video cutting through "so called stainless steel plate" I purchase it to find out it cut only 8 holes before failing. I called the company and they said I must have been cutting at the wrong speed, so I got another and changed the belts on the drill press to match their recommended speed and used cutting oil and could only cut a few before once again the cutter became dull and useless. Don't waste you money. |
