I missed the discount deadline, but ordered a set last night. I'll post a report after I do some drilling. Thanks for the feedback! Alec
UPDATE: The bits arrived and they are very nice. They do indeed bore to full depth without requiring backing out to clear chips. The quality seems very good and their sharp! I'm pleased. Alec
Anyone try Rockler Power Bore Drill Bits?

Rockler Power Bore Bits
I bought these a few weeks ago with the 20% off deal. Used them to
do counterbores in oak and found them to be on par with a good forstner
bit for a flat bottom hole. There is no burning that one would get with the
forstner bit and the chips are removed cleanly as Alec states. I'm happy
with them but would not pay full price for the set.

Just an FYI for everyone - Rockler has the 9-piece power bore drill set on sale today and tomorrow only - savings of $10.00 off regular price of $59.00. Iv'e been waiting for them to go on sale. I love sales.
