Review on TIDEWAY Woodworking Forstner Drill Bit - Premium Quality Wood Cutter by Daniel Ton

Revainrating 3 out of 5

This may work in some applications.

I'll admit it's a cheap big Forstner drill, these things are usually $60 or more at your local superstore. However, it has a small design flaw. The center of the drill is only slightly longer than the carbide tips, but that's not enough. The center broke out of the jaw I was drilling, allowing the chisel to go everywhere, giving me an oval stamped hole instead of a round, with lots of tare. This can work in metal, hardwood, or any other environment. However, this didn't work for my current usage. I'm keeping it to myself, but it's not like a regular big box that will admittedly cost you 5x more.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
