It makes a nice clean round hole that works fine with flanged bearings.

According to Hougen, if you have a rigid setup there is a high probability that your hole will end up somewhere between +0.0005 and +0.0035 from the nominal drill diameter. Sounds pretty good for a flanged bearing looking for a slip fit.
