from the comments here, it sounds like a self-centering bit is helpful. True?

Yes a self-centering bit would be helpful. At the very least center punch the hole to be drilled.

Hi there. In a perfect world it would be helpful but isn't 100% required. There is enough adjustability in the fixture bar that you can be slightly off. I've made 5 crosscut sleds with these and didn't own a self centering bit. Try clamping a good straight edge to the fixture bar when you tighten the screws down. Also if you are unsure of this or the incra ones, I prefer these. Hope this helps!

Yes, if you're referring to the ability to compensate for being off center of the screen during projection. I believe it is called keyhole or something like that.

Yes you still need to do the alignment. It's helpful for me as I travel to a number of different sites across a broad geographic area. It can save some time in terms of set up but it's not an absolutely essential piece of tech.

yes, but its a bigger bit, so if you only need a small bevel go with a smaller sized bit.

It will take anything that can be centerd it depends on your hand strength to tighten on it. I have used all types of bits. Yes the hex bits work the best. Sharp bits will make the job much easier.

It would look weird (to me), but yeah, you can put it what ever direction you want. To each their own

Yes, I believe it is but do yourself a favor and practice on something else till you get used to it. That's what I did till I perfected the use of it.

Yes. Just be sure to use the proper bit and go slowly, clearing your swarf (chips and dust) often. Check the cheat sheet riveted to the top cover for suggested speeds for your bit size.

Well for me it helped alot having something to focus my eyes too. It actually helped with my groups having a more fixed point.

I'm not sure I understand. You can drill clockwise and use reverse to help back the drill bit out. Is that what you mean?

It would become a little annoying unless you stay leaning forward. I would say not bad if it was 10 minutes or more apart.

There is a small amount of adjusting that you can do, mostly to make it level and centered.

i have use my bits on my 1/4 in electric impact on occasion . wouldn't do it all the time .
1681158
I would say yes. This requires some front and back movement and side to side.

Simple answer is yes BUT if I understand your goal, I have seen better solutions with an articulating arm. You may want to search that . While this does have a wide range of adjustments , it is not something I would want to do on a regular basis .

No. I admit that that was a concern when I purchased this because it was the primary negative comment. However, I learned that the centering problem has to do with how the faucet is installed. If it is properly installed, it does not center itself. Love my faucet.

I have heard of some high-arched users also finding them helpful, but that's all I can say. Sorry not to know more on this.
