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

Good value for money

These drill bits come ready to use. However, it may take some work to get the most out of it. In my box, three out of seven had small burrs on the cutting edge. I just scratched these bits onto a piece of pine (any wood will do), the burr was gone in about five minutes. That five minutes of work saved me a lot of money from having to pay 2x or 3x the extra for a premium brand. All of them ensure a smooth cut. Not sure if they drill fast enough or last long - although they appear to be decent…

Pros
  • Equipped with optimized ultra-sharp cutting teeth specially designed for smooth and efficient cutting of hardwood and softwood
Cons
  • Very expensive

Very good quality: Forstner bit

I've had many projects this set made a lot easier Very well done they should last a long time You will need a good powerful drill or drill The neck on these bits is too big for a cheap battery powered drill set I have used them to drill holes for the magnets of different sizes to make tool hangers/organizers and even a modified framed acoustic treatment that can be moved from one place to another.Attached with magnets.These were the original plans I had to get this set, but as I keep expanding…
