Freud FC-107 7-Piece Carbide Forstner Bit Sets Freud MORE INFO

Amazon.com Are expensive bits worth the extra cost? If the bits are these high-speed steel forstner bits from Freud, we think the answer is yes. Technical features--most notably the micrograin carbide/titanium tips--ensure these bits cut cleaner and stay sharp longer than any other forstner bits we tested. Although these bits performed exceptionally well on soft and hard wood, along with plywood and a few other composite materials, we were most impressed when our test cuts came up smooth and clean on both plastic-laminate and melamine--results generally unheard of with standard steel bits. These bits hold their own in hand drills as well as in any drill press, and we suspect they'll outlast other bits in our shop several times over. --Tim Block From the Manufacturer Forstner bits drill exceptionally clean holes in veneers or thick stock. They have a center spur that allows you to accurately locate the center of your hole. The razor sharp outside rim and inside cutters do all the work. Because these bits are guided by the rim, they are perfect for boring overlapping holes or pocket holes. The set includes sizes 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 1, and 1-3/8 inches.
