As noted in several reviews, the brad point is not perfectly aligned with the center of the bit shaft.  Having written that, I must note that it does not seem to matter.  I tested several bits using a drill press and a clamped down section of softwood.  At the bottom of the rather clean hole was a precise, conical shaped indentation from the brad point, so, it is not off by much.  The bits did not tear the surface grain appreciably, and certainly not like a pilot bit designed for metal does.

I tilted the press table to 15 degrees to see how the bits behaved on an angle, and although there was a slight wobble of the wood, the hole was easily made and clean inside.  Again, no surface grain tear-out.  The resulting hole from several test bits was about 1/64" larger than the nominal bit diameter, which is about what I find in other bits and of no real consequence to my wood-working.  When I start worrying about 1/64", it will be time to get a Valium prescription.

UPDATE:  I fear I might have been a bit optimistic in my original review.  Clamped down hard in a drill press, these bits work adequately, but  in a hand drill, or even unclamped in a drill press, they show the off-center brad point by badly wobbling the wood-piece and an uneven hole.  So, in the right circumstances, they work well--in any other conditions, not so good.
