5.0 out of 5 stars Superior Bits, April 26, 2001

This review is from: Freud FB-100 16-Piece Diablo Forstner Bit Set (Tools & Home Improvement)

I'm not really sure what foozleface was talking about. I had a project where I needed to bore a 3/4" hole through the end-grain of hard maple, which is significantly harder on a bit than edge grain. Upon the recommendation of a 30-year master woodworker, I purchased the Freud forstner bits. He told me that Freud was the best and I haven't been able to prove him wrong. I drilled through that maple like butter. Freud sold me.

This review is from: Freud FB-100 16-Piece Diablo Forstner Bit Set (Tools & Home Improvement)

For precision holes the best bits are forstner bits. If you work with wood like I do than you want the best. These bits will not chip your wood like other bits.

These are some of the best bits you can get. If you have experienced cheap bits that dull quickly then you will appreciate these. Chip removal is key to preventing overheating a bit. These are designed well and extract the chips like a good forstner bit should.

To date I haven't had any complaints with this set.
