A carbide-tipped cutting tip combined with a hardened steel cutting edge allows the ELIMINATOR to bore holes in all types of wood quickly, leaving little or no residue. A truly clean, smooth hole is produced. The ELIMINATOR, requires less torque to operate and can be used with electric, air or gasoline powered drill motors and impact wrenches. The carbide cutter is brazed onto the steel body and the hardened steel cutting edge can be sharpened. The lead screw, shank, and carbide cutter are replaceable allowing the ELIMINATOR to be completely rebuilt.
