Can I use these in a drill press?

No, the cutters are designed for use in a handheld electric drill or hand brace.

Can I use a hand brace instead of an electric drill?

Yes, the cutters are designed for use with an electric drill and can also be used with a hand brace.

What chuck size do I need?

Sizes 5/8" to 1" are for electric drills with a 3/8" or larger chuck. Sizes 1 1/4" to 2" require a larger electric drill with a 1/2" or larger chuck. Check your drill specification before ordering a larger size

When should I choose the larger sizes?

Sizes 1 1/4" to 2" are used for larger structural connections, such as bed-frame-to-post or fence-rail-to-post joints.

Will these work on green (wet) wood?

Yes, the adjustable blade and radiused shoulder profile work with both dry and green wood.

How do I sharpen the blade?

The cutter body has a built-in honing guide for sharpening the blade on a drill-press-mounted drum sander. Follow the sharpening guidance provided in the usage instructions.

Is a replacement blade available?
