As a result, I reduced my expectations, knowing that a Forstner bit with a radius of 3" exceeds the design parameters. Although, with a proper rotation speed and a reasonable amount of pressure, the bit performs in an acceptable manner. It is possible for hardwoods to burn a little When voids formed in pine and poplar, they were clean and perfectly.
