Though I was a little skeptical about the quality I would probably get at the "GREAT" price, I have NEVER got a dud product from Rockler, so I took the risk! Well, that was ten months ago, this allows me to say, thanks Rockler! To say I have used these bits extensively would be an understatement, everything from 1/4" dowel holes to 2 1/8" counter-bores for ball-bearings { I sometimes make temporary tooling from wood for a small factory }. I have NEVER been disappointed { oh of course I would LOVE a set that incremented by 1/64" - BUT that would be too rich for my blood }. For a production shop these may not be the "best" there is, but for a serious amateur they are pretty darn good, certainly a BEST BUY in my book. Once again, thanks Rockler, and keep those great deals coming.

I used the Forstner bit to bore a flat bottom hole and inserted a small Christmas type light bulb up from the bottom and then put a old time glass telephone knob over the bulb and down into the bore hole and Voila! We have a night lite.

At the sale price this set is a good value. I purchased it to use for jobs I would prefer not to use my high end bits for; drilling faucet holes in a resin sink I installed in the shop for example.
The bits perform very well. I usually get rid of the blow molded cases that come with my purchases but this one is actually quite nice and holds all the bits securely.

I'm very satisfied with these Forstner bits, the quality is excellent. They cut very aggressively and accurately even in the smaller sizes.

Great starter set for the casual woodworker like me. Would recommend this set for anyone needing a basic set with a full range of sizes.

"I live in NJ, and wish there was a physical store near where I live. My experience with rockler.com is second to none. Not only are your products first rate, but customer service/product support is exceptional. I've called several times, and never received someone on the other end of the phone who was anything but extremely helpful, patient, and friendly. The biggest compliment I can give is that I TRUST Rockler for all my woodworking needs. The only other store I can say that about is LL Bean. My wood working friends in western NJ love Rockler. Keep on keepin' on - and get a store here in Jersey!!"
