A review that is critical about issues all are related to all Forstner bits. They should be used with a drill guide or drill press NOT free hand because they will not stay centered and the depth is set with a stop on the drill press not the height of the of the bit's side wall. Being critical about these things has nothing to do with this quality bit.

It does the job and thats's all.
I bought this bit as it is equivalent to a 35mm bit used to install standard cabinet hinges. One problem is that you must guage the depth as the bit is not the standard thickness. Generally when a forstner bit reachs the depth where the top of the drill head is level with the surface of the wood the depth is correct for consealed hinges; not so with this product. The...

This review is from: Freud FC-010 1-3/8-Inch by 3/8-Inch Shank Carbide Forstner Bit (Tools & Home Improvement)
I bought this bit as it is equivalent to a 35mm bit used to install standard cabinet hinges. One problem is that you must guage the depth as the bit is not the standard thickness. Generally when a forstner bit reachs the depth where the top of the drill head is level with the surface of the wood the depth is correct for consealed hinges; not so with this product. The thinner head also tends to walk a bit if you are not using a drill press so you must be careful to line the bit up 90 Deg to the wood surface. This bit will do the job but if you must make alot of holes without the aid of a drill press don't even think about it! The bit seems sharp but doesn't have the normal saw tooth cutting edge around the periphery and because of that I tend to think that perhaps this tool won't stay as sharp as long.
