Exceptional Forstner Bit

This industrial grade Forstner bit performs magnificently with precision, leaving a clean finish. As an avid woodworker, I appreciate the bit's larger diameter and reduced vibration. Its durability adds an extra bonus for longevity purposes. Unfortunately, its higher price point may not be suitable for those looking for a budget option.

Pros
  • Precision, clean finish, larger diameter, reduced vibration, and durability.
Cons
  • Higher price point.

Smaller product for power tools and hand tools

15mm is .5905 and the forstner bit I got was .0578 which was significantly smaller for my needs. and 19/32 is 05937, so these bits should not be advertised as equal. Most likely the return will cost more than it's worth, but disappointing.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • old

Not so good: Drill

Tried with oak and pine. This made an acceptable hole but was very slow and required a lot of pressure, causing the bit to heat up quickly. I considered sending it back but decided not to bother. The design is difficult to sharpen, and the Chinese sharpened it rather roughly. I cut a little better with an augur file and a ceramic shank from my triangular sharpener, but still not very well. I have an old Irwin bit of the same size, made in Austria. It's the exact same design and cuts just as…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
