This is an entry-level Forstner set. On the bright side, there are plenty of sizes, and a cheap wooden case. But don't expect to be getting top-end quality for cheap with this- the case is pitiful, only slightly better than no case at all. And the quality of the bits isn't up to production standards.

Still, this is a good starter set for a novice woodworker, about on the quality one would expect from Harbor Freight.

I got a complete Titanium 20 Pc set in a great wooden box for what I would have paid for about half as many bits. They came well oiled and with individual protectors on them (great idea).
They are so much stronger than my circle whole saw blade/bits. This is the forth item I have bought from Yukon Tool and all thier stuff seems to be put together very well and a great value!.

Although I'm well aware "you get what you pay for", I am still very dissappointed with the quality of the bits. I've had this set for over a year now and have used many of them, each bit has dulled very quickly. The latest example was last weekend, using a previously unused bit, I drilled eight 1/4" deep holes in Doug Fir and felt a substantial loss in sharpness by about the 5th hole - had to pull the drill press handle hard, take a series of very short plunges and wait for the smoke to clear.

I'm now buying quality bits as I need them. I would not recommend this set for any purpose. Save your money.

What a disappointment! I planned to use them in my rustic furniture making and they wouldn't even cut into the wood.
I ended up going to Lowes and buying Freud Forstner bits and they cut beautifully. Save your money and pay the extra few bucks and get something that works.

This set is cheap, but the quality isn't there. I haven't used the bits yet, but the cutting edges on all bits were very dull and uneven. Expect to spend some time sharpening the to make them useful. I imagine they would burn the wood and produce a poor cut without sharpening.

THE QUALITY OF THESE BITS IS JUST FAIR COMPARED TO BITS COSTING MUCH MORE.FOR THE OCCASIONAL USER, THEY ARE OK.
