This Wintersteiger bit is sized to match the majority of binding and ski manufacturer recommendations and is supplied with 25 matched hole plugs to protect the core and finish of the ski after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does this drill bit do for my binding installation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bit drills consistent, manufacturer-appropriate holes for most alpine bindings so screws sit flush and engage the core properly.
