mag drill cutters

[extremed]

has anyone tired these type of cutters before http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROTABROAC...Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item2a252d4fa0 i'd only be cutting mild steel so is it worth giving one a try or stick to the normal type?

I've tried them; a free sample from a supplier. It worked on some hardened section that a normal mag cutter glazed over on.

Wasted on mild steel. Just buy a normal cutter.

I've used them mainly for cutting holes in Hardox, they work fine for mild steel as well.

When cutting they produce lots of chips...a bit like milling... rather than the long stringy bits.

For £15 they look pretty good.

i got one last week ,haven't used it yet but thought it a good price,incidentally last year i got 10 18mm ones & thought they outlived the normal carbon steel bits i usually use so was pleased.
