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.

Poor design
Would Not RecommendThe center post was way too long so much so to get the depth it would have gone through door. What were they thinking. I had to grind down the post and lose its cutting edges.

Works great!
Right out of the packaging this forstner bit worked exactly like I needed it to. it cuts nice clean, smooth holes, with minimal sanding afterwards. Will definitely look into purchasing more Irwin Marples forstner bits if I need additional sizes.
A BIT of greatness.
Would RecommendBest drill bit I’ve ever bought. I was making so, me cap racks for my daughter who was giving them as Christmas presents. They included drilling 10, 1-1/2” holes in a 3 ft 2x4 times 6, after the first try with my cheap foreign forstner bit set, I gave up and went to Lowe’s and grabbed a new marbles bit. It took me longer to go to Lowe’s and back than it did to finish drilling the other 50 holes, I was amazed! I’ll never use any forstner bit but a Marples, fastest, smoothest holes I’ve ever dri...
