I got this set quite a while ago...used it extensively in getting close to metric and such for tapping (the number and letter bits help in that respect). I 'm satisfied....
Anyway, after thinking they were adequate for aluminum (I have better for steel), I finally got around to needing the "G" letter bit...HAH! I chucked it up in the drill press after a pilot hole, brought the spindle down, and applied pressure. wheeew... the bit just sat there spinning acting like a burr removal tool. Looking at the bit, it was ground backwards and was rubbing on the back side of the flutes. A little grind job and it was up to snuff.
Well, one bad one (so far) isn't bad for the price!
