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

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.

Great Bit!
This I needed to cut clean edge 2" holes in 4X6 landscaping timbers to be used as leveling stands for shelving in my garage. This bit did the trick without putting hardly any strain on my 3/8 inch drill.
