Anyone try Rockler Power Bore Drill Bits?

I thought these Rockler Power Bore drill bits looked nice and wondered if anyone had tried them or could offer any feedback on Rockler tools in general. Thanks - Alec

Plan two!

Well that darn arbor would not budge off the spindle... :mad: Fortunately my good pal Frank was parting out a greenie and he kindly offered me his quill assembly. I was nervous about swapping it out, but it went in like a charm! :D . I fired her up with the new quill and shined the spindle end with ...

Thanks Chuck

Thats a good one Chuck - Thanks - I'll try it. I have put a wrench on the arbor, with the sanding disc on the aux. spindle, but haven't tried rapping the wrench. Hopefully that might be just the thing to set 'er loose. :o Thanks again - Alec

Thanks Chuck

Thanks Chuck. I'm having a devil of a time with it. 3 days of soaking with penetrating oil, lots of wiggling, yanking and twisting to no avail. I tried a pickle fork today but still no luck. :( I think the ball peen is sounding good - but I don't want to bend the spindle!! Maybe just a "rap&quo...

Dusty - Thanks. I soaked the arbor well with p.o. t'nite and am hoping I can get it off t'morrow. I agree - NO HAMMERS... but what to do?
