Forstner bit sets
Bought both sets in order to have one of each increment. Seem well made and the boxes make them safely stored away. Have used one size in particular for Beads Of Courage jars and found them sharp enough to cut white tail deer antler without an issue.

It's excellent for what it is and what it costs for the set. In the world of all Forstners they would be a 3.5 to 4. I should have bought just a couple of carbides, but these are excellent for occasional-only needs. So far, just used them on poplar. I have some fine and ultra fine 1/2" ceramic polishing stones, so I think they'll work better when dressed to a high polish.

great bits with one little small issue
A great set at an amazing price. It's cuts so clean you barely need to have a punch out piece on the other side. The only issue I had was when using melamine coated. The bits took quite a while to grab and start cutting. Once they did grab though, the cutting was quick, precise and clean. Love my Rockler bits!!

For the money these bits are a good deal, especially on sale. They don't measure up to carbide bits but for the occasional user they should be fine. They don't come razor sharp so having the ability to file them sharper would be a plus. I've used them on poplar, birch, and oak without issues...good clean holes with clean sides and bottoms. They come packaged in a durable plastic case for dust free storage. The one confusing part is each bit is stamped with it's max RPM rating. The bits are stamped from 620 RPM to 870 RPM depending on the bit size...which makes sense for Forstner bits. However, the inside lid of the custom storage box has a label stating various RPM's recommended for different bit sizes...the problem is the label offers RPM's up to 2000! Why would package bits clearly meant for low RPM's have a label suggesting 2000 RPM's? The novice woodworker would burn up their bits in a hurry using high RPM's. Forstner bits are best used at the lowest RPM possible to achieve good results. That's my only issue with this set.

For the price, it's a good steel Forstner bit starter set. The set arrived with sharp cutting edges. Be careful not to cut too fast to keep the edges from losing their temper.

Bought this set because of the sale price. I have several sets of Forstner Bits, and have not found a good cheap way to sharpen them....so it is often toss 'em and grab a new one.
