Would RecommendMy dad loves it. He loves working with wood. This and the larger drill bit were the only things he wanted for Christmas.

Made a clean circle but as it got deeper into the hole the wood was getting caught up in the teeth which caused the bit not to make much headway. Needs better teeth that don’t get bogged down.

Great tool
I needed to bore a 1 1/8" hole from one face of the wood and meet the hole with 1 1/4" from the opposite face. This bit cut the wood like butter with no chipping, chatter or vibration. I'm very pleased.

IRWIN Marples 2-in Woodboring Forstner Drill Bit
Would RecommendThis bit exceeded my expectations. The bottom and sides of the hole were so smooth, no sanding was needed, before staining the piece.

Used with a drill press
Would Not RecommendThis has an aggressive cut, but requires quite a bit of sanding after.

Drilled it
Would RecommendI needed to drill a hole to hook up my dishwasher to the garbage disposal. The Irwin Marples Woodboring Fostner Drill Bit did an outstanding job drilling a hole in the sidewall of the cabinet. Jeff
