IRWINTools IRWIN Marples Forstner Bit Set, Wood Drilling, 8 Piece (1966892)

Put in new doors frames throughout the house. Worked great to drill out for the latch. Nice case, perfect size assortment. Excellent quality, super sharp and worked easily through the wood.

Are well made and have worked very well.

Ordered these Forstner bits to bore out deer antlers to make finger rings. The set came with a lot of sizes for me to have the ability to size different rings. They chewed right through antlers like butter and bored a perfect, smooth, clean hole. Price and product were both great. Highly recommend adding these bits to your toolbox.

The product from Irwin is usually always consistent. It'll get the job done, maybe not the best, but they can help you get it done. These bits have some inconsistent sharpening. The edges are slightly chewed up, out of the box. Don't expect perfect machining for the price. These still are the best for what you pay.

Super sharp bits and chew through wood quickly. I use them currently almost exclusively for building birdhouses which I make a lot of in the spring time. Might seem like an insignificant project but these bits chew through cedar better than bits I have used in the past. Leaves and very nice clean hole especially if you use a sacrificial piece behind it.

Suit my needs! very sharp ,work great on my drill press and cordless drill.

This was my first set of Forstner bits after struggling with paddle bits for 90% of my life. What a difference! These came with a light coating of oil to prevent corrosion, so be aware of that, but these hog through wood like nothing else. They've allowed me to drill clean holes in thinner plywood that would've otherwise blown out on the backside. You still need to exercise caution when drilling through thin materials, but I do feel like the quality of the holes was far superior to those of any other large bit I've used.

Exactly what I needed at the perfect price! Great quality and value.
