I design and build modern furnitures as well as maintaining and repairing old antique furnitures. I often use forstner bits in my work and I found that the sizes of these bit sets are very handy and accurate. So far I have not really found anything to dislike about these bits.

So far they are what I espect from a Frostner bit. Have used almost half of the sizes. All have functioned properly. When used as designed they perform flawlessly. Great price when they are on sale. Great for adding to existing sets or as a replacement set.

I assumed after buying these they would be sharp..at least the teeth were. After using the larger bits on some projects I inspected the cutting edges and found they were poorly ground, had large nicks and no sharpened edge at all. After spending a couple of hours with different grit diamond sharpening stones I got them to the point that they were ok....but still not sharp. Good deal for the money, but you'll have to put some of your own work in to make them effective.

I bought this set when it was on sale and thought I'd get what I paid for. I was pleasantly surprised. Theses are sturdy and bore holes with smooth sides and flat bottoms. I use them alot to hog out material when turning hollow forms.

I have only used the smaller diameters so far. Work just as good as the "much older" name brands I have. the newer tech. stuff like COLT perhaps cut quicker & easier, eject chips better, won't need sharpening as often.If I was rich I would get them, I'm not. these cut beautifully clean flat bottom holes & I have 16 sizes to choose from. I one happy monkey with an axe now.

These were a featured on-sale item, and they where out of stock. It took 2 weeks to recieve them. The box was broken from either packaging or was a return. I have a hard time believing they would send out a broken box... Bits need sharpened, they where all dull. Good price, they are better then harbor frieghts forstner bits by a long shot though.

for the price you can't beat this product. Many uses, drilling holes, hogging out material, carving pumpkins, the list is endless. Bought my own set a few years back, just purchased this set for my father.
