Doesnt hold bit tight
Every bit I've used with this extension just end up spinning in the extension instead of cutting the material. The set screws don't hold the bit tight enough to do any real drilling.
-
First time used, it snapped
Used to core pepper mill.. The shaft snapped within the first five seconds of use drilling a pepper mill blank.

Well made Quality product

Great Product
I use this to extend my forstner bits while boring pepper grinders. I have found that this model has the best retention screws to hold bits in place.
-
Excellent bit extension.
Helds the bit straight and true.
-
Works well with Woodriver 10pc bit set.
Use with Woodriver 10pc bit set for woodturning bores. Seems very true and holds bits securely.
-
Works with any forstner bit
Even though the two set screws were very tight, my 1.5" forstner bit started slipping. Then I remembered reading a suggestion to slightly flatten one side of the round shaft on a grinder. This gave the set screws someplace to grab and the slipping was eliminated. Recommend to not get too agressive with large bits to avoid twisting the shaft and snapping it.

Not what it is cracked up to be
I don't like it. It wobbles too much when drilling thru holes. I made a better one from 3/8" id steel tubing by drilling two wholes and tapping for 2 allen screws. Works really well. I have made two for half the price of this one. (1) 5" and (1) 10"
-
little flimsy
when out toward the 3 0r 4 inch range starts to wobble and wander of center. needs to be a little beefyer in the shaft. but you get what you pay for
-
All that I expected
Use it for hollowing peppermills, lamps, and other long turned items.

I'm a Happy Borer
I don't know about all Forstner bits, but my set has a cylindrical shaft, which is difficult to grip. I simply ground a bevel on one side for the Allen screws to contact and there is no slippage even at the end of a long bore.
