They include increased efficiency, improved hole quality and enhanced consistency of the hole depth irrespective of the operator.
The device’s vented housing eliminates the vacuum effect created by traditional cup cutters, reduces plug compression, and virtually eliminates the dreaded “volcano effect,” i.e., that slight rise along the outer lip of the hole so often created during the cup–setting procedure.
