Its much easier on the drill when only taking a quarter of the circle in
a cut - its also easy for it to clear the sawdust from the cut (since it
falls out of the open end of the cut).

(My drill press is only something like 1/2" HP, and that managed ok with
a relatively low gear selected)

Thanks, that's really useful information.
