Review on πŸͺš Steelex D3653 8 Inch Heavy Forstner: Precision Drilling Powerhouse for Woodworking Projects by Erik Peterson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Totally useless for drill

I bought this specifically for its size, it was perfect for my project. Unfortunately this model failed to cut anything. The drill's drive tip pulls the Forstner bit very aggressive towards the shank after which everything stalls. It wasn't sharp enough to cut through soft pine. At best it scratched the wood with little to no impact even though I had the speed set correctly. The much cheaper ( albeit smaller) parts from the high street shops were not a problem.

Pros
  • 3-5/8" diameter
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
