UK Drills 1 x 50.0mm New Forstner Bit Wood Hole Cutter Round Shank TCT Tip

They are nice and sharp

Drill bit arrived ahead of expected delivery time, and having now used it, can honestly say it's absolutely first rate. It arrived with a complimentary 28mm spade drill bit, which was a nice little extra.

Very reasonable price. Bought both for a particular project. Worked very well and continue to do so. Will buy again when the need arises

Built to a budget but a bargain. For the occasional user who wants a Forstner bit of unknown size this is great. I bought these to let some Neodymium magnets into timber baton and am guessing that the 15mm magnets will work fine. With a full set of bit it gives you the option to change your mind.

I was happily surprised by these bits. The smaller of the two is made slightly differently and I did wonder if it would work, it did. As they are able to be sharpened if needed, these will last a long time and I will be buying more in different sizes. If you are drilling hundreds of holes at a time then obviously you want to get an expensive bit. I use them for making jigs in my workshop and they are going to work just fine for a very long time in general use.

ONLY NEEDED TO DRILL 4 HOLES FOR A DEEP KITCHEN PULL OUT DRAWER REPLACEMENT (20mm)2 TEST HOLES IN THE OLD DRAWER PERFECT FIRST TIME... NICE CLEAN CUT...

DEFINITELY NEEDS CLEANING BETWEEN HOLES AS THERE WAS QUITEA BUILD UP OF CRUD ON THE CUTTERS ... RECOMMENDED FOR SMALL JOBS CANT SAY ABOUT 100SOF HOLES

Very satisfied with the item. At a fraction of other prices for the same drill bit, I decided to take a gamble and I'm glad I did. Not only saving money, but the drill cut through my unit like butter without any give or slide when starting to finishing. Happy to recommend this item and seller.

This is definitely very cheap for a Forstner bit of this size, but it is effective, if in need of a bit of honing at the outset. In its favour, apart from cost is my experience of buying more costly and superior brands that also need a bit of honing from the outset: all of these tools come from the same source, more or less and there is an issue with quality control between one item and the next, regardless of brand. However, I used this bit to drill a flat bottomed hole into 2 inch oak, drilling to within 3/8th of an inch to the face of the timber and had no problem at all. These tools can be sharpened a bit and it is not a case of having them reground, more the removal of the odd burr, so I am satisfied and if I needed to buy a larger size Forstner bit I would buy this one again.
