Product Information:

Includes 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", 1" bits and 1-1/4", 1-3/8" and 1-1/2" multi spur bits.

Character Limit Per Line - For Box Only: 30

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

2/2/2012 5.0 Good Value By erose50 from Troy, NY About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer Pros Sturdy case Works Effectively Cons Best Uses 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!

9/13/2011 4.0 Specifications Need Update By Paul the Scroller from Sidney, ME About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer Pros Cons Best Uses 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.
