Review on Irwin 42930 8 Inch Shank Forstner by Jeff Jackson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Slow cutting bamboo

I was making a beer holder and needed a 1-7/8" Forstner bit to fit the bottom of the glasses, I cut 5/4 of the bamboo and had to work very slowly so the wood doesn't smoke I thought it would cut like butter, maybe the wood was denser than I thought but it did what I wanted, just slowly

Pros
  • Drills precision holes at every angle
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled
