“I made a snug brass dowel to fit inside the cutters to prevent crushing. They do work very well HANK”

“Aloha , Sine the 1/4 " fits so nice inside the 5/16" and the 5/16" fits the 3/8" hole saws , You can 'Mortise' your hole to hide a worn hole or knot hole with the smaller 'hole saw' and make a prefect patch ' sized' to mate the hole with the next larger hole saw . Then after gluing them in with a 'crazy' glue and using the same saw dust from the mortise 's cut , rub and fill any gaps . A router plane , than is used to shave down to the surface of your 'patch' . Also , don't sweet in trying to match the color of the patch , it can be made to look like a 'knot' if done with care . Aloha, Mark Baker”

“I had 3 screws broken off in a toilet seat and rather than replace the whole seat I took the time to research how smart people solve such problems. This brought me to the wood extractor drill bit. I read the instructions and even the reviews. Picked one of these up from the Thorton Rd store here in GA along with a scrap 1/4" dowel courtesy of the accommodating sales rep who helped me that day. Using it was a piece of cake. I followed the suggestion of placing a piece of scrap wood with a predrilled 1/4" hole on directly over the spot to act as a guide to prevent "bit dancing" and clamped it down. I set the drill in reverse and went slow and steady. Within a minute or two the broken screw was out. Nice clean hole. Setting the predrilled scrap wood over the screw also had the added benefit of aligning the bit perfectly so there was little or no chance of the bit touching the screw which would shatter the teeth of the bit.”
