Review on πŸ”§ Irwin Tools Drilling Forstner Drill Bit - 1966892 by Ron Turner

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not sharp or precise

I have to say I'm not impressed with these bits in terms of sharpness or accuracy. Drilling through relatively soft woods took significantly longer than with a conventional drill. Another issue is that the holes were actually slightly larger than intended. I actually needed the 1/4 inch holes to be exactly 1/4 but that was nowhere near the case. The mission failed, so it was sad.

Pros
  • Significantly reduces cutting time compared to traditional Forstner bits
Cons
  • Out of fashion
