When it comes to tools it very often comes down to the principle "You get what you pay for." I've considered getting one to buy a cheaper Forstner bit set. We were working on pine Derby cars and one of the guys turned up with a cheap set of titanium coated Forstners. All the sizes we needed were large, over an inch. But even in a soft block of pine, titanium was slow. I chose not to buy a set from him even though they sell for less than $40 a box. Instead, I chose 3 specific Freud sizes. difference between day and night. Freud's pieces chew wood cleanly and quickly. It's better to buy good tools that will last longer than junk that can help you with your current project.
