What Customers Are Saying
The drill bits are praised for cutting clean, smooth, and accurate holes in a variety of hardwoods with minimal splintering or damage. They are described as sharp, durable, and able to maintain their edge even after extensive use. The bits are useful for specific woodworking tasks like installing cabinet hinges, drilling holes, and creating openings. However, some reviewers note the bits may wander or bind in very hard woods, and the need to clear chips frequently for deeper holes. There are also a few reports of mislabeled bit sizes.

Hard to Center
Would Not RecommendEven with the starter tip this drillbit was difficult to keep still and isolated quite a bit before grabbing hold and boring out the hole that I needed.

Forstner Drill Bit
Would RecommendI used the Forstner Drill Bit to recess two dummy door knob spindles so the rosettes would be flush with the door surface. The quality of this drill bit is very good and I would certainly purchase this brand again and I appreciate the size selection available at Lowe’s.
