Review on Roman Carbide DC1842 Carbide Forstner Bit, 3/8-Inch by Daniel Shankle

We tested the Roman Carbide 3/4 inch and the 1-15/16 inch bit and was so pleased with the results. Watch our video for the larger bit in action. -- CLEAN PERFECT BORES: Using a drill press, we bored holes in both hard white oak and walnut the holes were beautifully clean and smooth on the sides and bottom. -- NO BURNING: There were no break out edges and the cuts did not burn even after repeated drilling. -- VERY SHARP!: The cutting edges produce large long shavings which indicate a very sharp edge. -- NO SLIP SHAFT: Hex shaft prevents the shaft from twisting in the drill chuck which is just another excellent feature for this already superb forstner bit. -- TRUE ALIGNMENT: The head to the shaft alignment is perfect provided a extremely smooth spin in the drill press.
