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.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.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.

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.

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

Great for butcher block
Would RecommendUsed this bit to drill for a faucet in a new butcher block countertop. Worked great with no splintering leaving a nice clean hole.

Not for hardwood
Purchased this to make insets for votives on hardwood candle holders. The hardwood was too much for it. Probably would have worked fine on pine or another soft wood.
