Where can I purchase the 30mm hex shank Forstner bit shown here?
BEST ANSWER: I never found one. I wound up using my router to mortise the hinges traced around hinge and then routed it freehand. Worked pretty good actually.

Great hinge -Easy install
I use these hinges on the mailboxes I build, they last many years.
Drill holes for screws in hardwood and wax the screws or the screw head may twist off.

easy if you measure carefully
the 30mm bit is needed for a nice finish, u must measure well and i would do a dummy install before final on your box. the hinge pin could be engineered better for a smoother operation and alignment. all in all it's good for the price and functional.

Easy alignment with these hinges
The only shortfall of these hinges is that you need a 30mm forstner bit. If you don't have one, the cost must be considered. Given that, these are easy to install with a little recess with the 30mm bit -- far faster than a rectangular mortise.

A tad sloppy, but works as advertised. You don't really need the Forstner bit for bi-fold application. Surface mount works just fine. Eyeballing alignment is required in any case as there is no jig or instructions. Simple to use.

Great hinge for bifold doors. It is a thick and strong design. The pin is removable so make sure it is inserted from the top or mounted right side up. Only con is that the hinge is a little bit sloppy, it is not quite as precise as I would like. But over all a very good hinge.

I used these on a walnut (cedar lined) chest (two sets). They work well if you use a forstner bit.

Look beautiful, all except when the hinge bends into the 90 degree angle, which is when it became painfully obvious that the hinge pins are bent and my box lid goes from perfectly flat to horribly crooked. Not to mention the $30 I spent on the 30mm forstner bit specifically to install them.
