Performance in the sugarbush
A clean cut reduces cracking around the tap hole and helps achieve a better seal when inserting the spout. A properly formed tap hole improves early season sap flow and supports stable vacuum levels in systems where vacuum is used. Even in traditional bucket setups, a quality tapping bit makes a noticeable difference in seasonal performance.
