What Customers Are Saying
This set of Forstner bits generally performs well for most woodworking projects, producing clean, smooth holes, especially when used with a drill press. The wide range of bit sizes is a key benefit. However, some customers reported quality issues like dull or damaged cutting edges, as well as challenges using the bits in a handheld drill. Overall, this is a reasonably priced and functional set suitable for hobbyist and DIY use, but may not meet the needs of professional or heavy-duty users.

Round shank
Would Not RecommendShould have hex shank. Can't get these bits tight enough so they don't spin in the chuck.
Well worth the price
These forstner bits were exactly what I expected and needed. The machining was second to none, especially considering the price point. I would however recommend these be used in a drill press. The can be easily chucked into a hand drill, but the drill likes to walk around, and I puts a decent burden on the drill/ battery.
Great deal!
Would RecommendWell-made at a good price; bought for my lathe to prepare for turning bowls. Excellent for my purposes!

The bits work great. I just wish that all the bits had been included in the set. Instead of having a 3/8" bit, there was a second 1/4" bit. The bit set was in its original factory box, so I am sure it was packed incorrectly at the factory.
