This 10-piece Forstner bit set is part of a line of imported Forstner bits that Woodcraft has tested and found to cut clean and not burn even when testers intentionally subjected them to quick, repetitive drill press borings. An exceptional value for the hobbyist or occasional user. Set includes 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", 1", 1-1/4", 1-3/8", and 1-1/2" bits (no 1-1/8"). Bits are 3-1/2" long with a 3/8" shank. Bits larger than 1" have saw-toothed edges to keep the larger cutting edge cool while boring.


  • 10 Forstner bits 1/4" to 1-1/2" in 1/8" increments (no 1-1/8")
  • 3-1/2" long
  • 3/8" shank
  • Larger bits have saw-toothed edges to keep cutting edge cool while boring
  • Includes a wooden storage case

    Comments about Forstner 10 Piece Bit Set :

    My first set of forstner bits. I've only used one bit so far.Based on everything I had read about it having a smooth bottom I had assumed it was entirely flat and smooth. The holes that I bored had a smaller pinpoint hole in the very center, which I predicted when I saw the actual bit construction. Not quite what I expected, but that's my own fault for not researching the item more carefully. The holes are very flat and smooth otherwise. Great price; I saw similarly priced bit sets from other sources and their product reviews weren't as good, so I am glad I went with these. And I love the case design!

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Specifications Need Update

    Comments about Forstner 10 Piece Bit Set :

    I just received a set and it appears to be a real bargain, especially at the sale price. They are all marked as made in China, but today what isn't. The one problem I see at this point is the sheet of documentation that came with the bits. For example, it recommends drilling into soft wood with the 1/4" bit at 3000 RPM. However, the bit itself is engraved with the warning not to exceed 870 RPM. The larger bits are marked not to exceed 620 RPM but the recommendation is to use them at 800 RPM in soft wood. I think I would go with the slower speeds for safety, but I also think the manufacturer and the packager should get together on a consistent message.

    Comments about Forstner 10 Piece Bit Set :

    I bought these about 6 months ago and hadn't had a chance to use them until the past few days. I do custom woodworking and hate using "Spade" bits on oak, they tend to tear the wood more than I'd like. I needed some Forstner Bits, but could never find a set that was in my price range for occasional use. I came across this set at a Woodcraft Store in PA and got them while they were on sale. It was the best money I spent while I was in PA. I used the 1 1/4" bit to bore a countersink hole in oak and it tore thruogh it like a hot knife through butter. I also used the 1/2" bit to bore a hole through a 4" block of oak for a lamp and on a slow speed in my Shopsmith Drill Press, it went right through without smoke or burn. If you need a good set of bits, save your money on the expensive set and buy this one. It's well worth the money!
