The bit is sloppy, dented, dull and hard to believe it's a CMT product

This bit either needs to be used and resharpened or it's counterfeit. I bought it for a project I'm working on. I wanted to drill through the door (1.25" jaw) and the drill didn't bite. I had to press hard on it and it still didn't drill through. It got too hot so I had to let it rest. got the bat reviewed and the handling is sloppy, messed up, boring and hard to believe this is even a CMT product.I haven't been this disappointed with a purchase in a long time.My entire multi month project is…

Not very suitable for drill

tried in 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
  • Forstner drill
Cons
  • not sure

Read the description carefully. it is not 41/64 bit!

Yes, mainly concerns me, I should have read the product description more closely. I was looking for a 41/64" bit, settled on this one because it was a Forstner and had good reviews and bought it (along with another one, see below). Of course when it arrived it was very clearly marked 16mm on the packaging. And 16mm is definitely NOT the same as 41/64". In fact, 41/64" isn't even the US standard size closest to 16mm! (5/8"). Converting both to decimal inches, 16mm is 0.011" less than 41/64"…

Pros
  • Drill parts and accessories
Cons
  • Long delivery time
